hey there peeps, i am stumped at finding where this problem is, i get this small shaking in the steering wheel at about 100km/h but the thing is sometimes goes away i think when taking a slight bend but not 100% sure

the thing i have done so far is, balanced front wheels, i have check for any play on the front end, all good there and i also have put in hub centric rings too

i have notice a bit of play in my rear end seem the tie rod ends at the rear are shot but will i wouldnt think that would cause the steering shake at the front or would it?

Have been in a car where a rear wheel buckle caused the steering to shake.

Get all wheels balanced. And what tyres are you running? Have also had shit tyres that caused the steering to shake no matter who balanced them

Im running federals 595 up front and duruns at rear. I have had this problem with 2 of my other sets of wheels. But i will try get the rears balanced and see if that makes an improvement. Also when i get time prob install my emliminator kit as im running a lock bar right now but tie rod ball joint is shot

I had a similar problem that I lived with for years... Felt like a front wheel imbalance, but would come and go at different times.

I finally fixed it when I swapped out the stock inner bushes (with Nolathane items) on the front lower control arms.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
