Hello,

Car has 206K has been great its whole life. driving from Lake Placid to Providence, I began to notice a shimmy in the front only while accelerating and only between 50 and 60 MPH. if i accelerate up to 55, and then coast, the wobble goes away as soon as i let off the gas. makes me think its not wheel balance. Seems to be a little more from the pass side, but not sure. The top mount seems to have a little play, I can rock the engine a bit, I don't know if this is normal.

Motor or tranny mount?
control arm?
Tie rod end?
all of the above?

Any ideas?

Thanks
