Default frond end wiggles-350Z

I have a 2004 z-350 roadster and when I hit bumps or rough roads my front end tends to wiggle or shimmy. I have new tires and are balanced and the front end alignment is OK. The Z-store has a front under brace that can be attached to add rigidity to front end. Would this help in this situtation

Thanks

Mine doesn't do that either... the only thing is there is a very slight bit of scuttle shake, which is the windshield section, but this is common in most convertibles. But as for the entire front end... thats bad. Might have your suspension components checked. Did you buy it used? Maybe it was wrecked, could be frame damage of some sort. Probably should have it checked out.

Good luck...

Sounds like you should have an experienced mechanic/shop
guy drive it. If there is no visible damage a component could
be bent (although it would likely reflect some sort of alignment
issue). Car should not wiggle.

Take it to a trusted shop so they dont try and take you to the cleaners.
