Maxima 04' Shimmy Fix

Hello All: From the stats on the last poll, 48% of 04' Maxima owners have reported a "Shimmy in the Steering Wheel" at speeds of 45-80 (varies by owner) on both the SE and SL. Several people on this website have found ways to eliminate the Shimmy, with the fix not always being clear. Please let us know how you corrected this problem and complete the Poll above on the fix.

Thanks, K-1111

Tire rotation fixed this issue...

I had a shimmy and did not worry about it.

The problem went away when I had my tires rotated.

Problem solved.

I hope you all can get your concerns addressed properly!
