[Staowners] SCUTTLE SHAKE REVISITED

[Mal Clark]

Hi everyone.over many years there has been a debate on the Alpine Scuttle shake at speeds,between 50 and 60 MPH,all my Alpines 3 of them experianced the scuttle shake around 55 MPH, and as you know this site in the past has had many owners suggesting why they shake, wereas some owners haven't experianced the shake at all, My latest Alpine fitted with power steering.air conditioning,disc brakes and a 5 speed gearbox,does not shake at all in fact there is no feedback through the steering wheel what so ever,and letting the wheel go at these speeds it doesn't move of line,if fact it is so good, brings me to think why,is it the power steering, (can not see a great deal of difference over the original steering box),but one thing that is different to the other Alpines I have owned,because of all the extra's on the motor,(power steer pump. air cond compressor),I can not fit the engine stabliser bars or mounts.and could it be these bars and mounts creating the shake,interested to know if sedan owners have the so called scuttle shake,seeing sedans do not have these bars fitted, (I do have the sedan rear mount on cylinder head) your comments welcome, thanks Mal Clark.
