So I was driving down the wonderful Missouri roads last night and hit a massive puddle. After I got back on asphalt, I noticed that the steering wheel had a BAD shimmy at all speeds. It was very difficult to keep the car straight. I made it home and took a gander at the drivetrain and suspension. I noticed that both my CV boots at the hub are torn and need to get them replaced. I checked the tie rod ends, ball joints and sway bar brackets and all is secure. I put everything back together and took a test drive. I noticed a grinding sound whenever I turn while accelerating or decelerating and the wheel shimmy is intermittent. I think replacing the half shafts (the boots look like they have been torn for a while now) would fix my problem. Any other ideas?
