Shlim, now you got me into an overly critical mode with my car. One minute, I experience no wheel shake, then I get steering wheel shake. It's intermittent!

I have replaced most everything except the tie rods.

Ha ha... sorry about that... btw, I also replaced the tie rods... it still looks ok and it did not reduce the vibration, but the steering is alittle sharper.

I wish I had another 986 to test, wonder if the vibrations are "normal". I (and the mechanics) were surprised that there is no rubber gasket or bushing on the steering wheel to the chassis. That would certainly have dampen some of the vibrations..

BTW, the car went into a big pothole and now I've got a wooden plank noise whenever I go through road speed strips... darn... I think it's the plastic undertray though... I've got 2 clamps loose now and one edge is broken. Hitting on the undertray produced a similar sound. Just didn't have time to work on it yet.
