    • I've got a low speed vibration/steering wheel shudder..
      Newish tires with less than 9,000 miles, too. They were just balanced and rotated to the front.
      I've just gotten used to these cars having noises and vibrations.

      • low speed vibration is indicative of a shifted belt or bent hub. better have that looked at again...

        • Mine is in the shop for an alignment and balance. I'm hoping that will take care of my shimmy at 60+mph. It doesn't vibrate at low speeds on mine. I hope that's a good thing!

                  • Recieved my new Denso O2 sensor . Been PB Blasting old one for 2 days. They sell a O2 senson socket, is this needed or desireable? Also recieved my dash Clock today, did a test fit. Looks great, will wire later, to late today.
                    If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                            I bought one when I changed mine.
                            For $7 for a tool I will use for the rest of my life.
                            I used the socket on a 3/8" wrench and put my jack handle over the wrench. The sensor broke loose with little effort thanks to the leverage. I don't think I used any penetrating fluid either. My car has no rust, though.

                            I would recommend the socket. You can get your hands out of the engine bay so it is less likely to smash/gash something and you can add cheater bars for leverage. You also wouldn't want to round that thing off using a crescent or open end wrench

                              • I refined my sleeper trailer and put in a floor protector. I cut the rug to fit and stapled it to the board. I folded up a mattress box and wrapped it in a mattress "wrapper". Then I wrapped, loaded, and secured a BP for motoxpress and a 323 auto trans for crazyrog17.
