Three problems related to front suspension have been reported for the 1997 Oldsmobile 88. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The suspension moves up and down vigoursly which causes loss of vehicle control which could result in an accident. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem.
When driving at any speed the vehicle is shaking/vibration due to all four tires being unbalanced. Original tires were replaced after finding a bubble on one and abnormal wear on other three. Replacing tire did not solve the shudder or shaking problem.
When the vehicle is traveling between 60-65 mph it seems to shimmy, sometimes the shimmy seems to relate to the engine acceleration and deceleration. This also seems to occur during normal drivng.
