History: Bought the car and drove it 300 miles from Baltimore(zero rust in/out/under) and it had shaking frt right-assumed wheel bearing/axle.Had new front axles, new front left wheel bearing, new clutch/slav cyl installed.New clutch brought the cars turbo power into play and the shimmy was reduced significantly yet not eliminated. Mechanic then replaced 2 toasted motor mounts (he said new engine power torked the engine upward strangling the poor mounts) that reduced the shimmy again yet still not eliminated. Mechanic then installed a left frt half shaft(he said the turbo engine power may have been torking the shafts) this again reduced yet did not eliminate the shimmy which occurs during hard acceleration only and only for a second.Mechanic now states that he believes replacement of the right frt half shaft will eliminate shimmy at acceleration entirely...is this logical since it did reduce after replacement...any suggestion after $1500 which I think is cheap in repairs. The turbo is hot and the car is sharp with a great ride. Thanks
