Hello,

I have an 01 Concorde with 80K miles. I get a high frequency vibration (steering wheel shakes) between 50-65 mph. I don't think its the tires because I rotated front to back and still get the same shimmy. Any thoughts on if it could be tie rod ends, ball joints or motor mounts?

The car is drivable, the shake is just annoying. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Could be rod ends. INNER to be specific. Lots of parts could cause that. Get it looked at very soon before something breaks. That's no fun for anyone.

 

Any thoughts on how and what I should check before bringing to a mechanic?

 

I would Jack up the front and see if there is in and out movement with the tire.
