A few days ago I got my Rodeo badly stuck in mud and it needed a tractor to pull it out. Upon being pulled out by the tractor, the Rodeo has developed a horrible steering shimmy. From what I noticed, the shimmy becomes worse with speed and the steering feels unusual. When I jacked up the front right tire to see what was going on I found that I had both horizontal and vertical play. There was about 1 inch of steering play and about .25 inch toe play. Also, I had shimmy problems long before the tractor pulled my Rodeo out. The shimmy would come and go, and sometimes it got very bad where my steering wheel shaked. I have about 256,000 miles on that Rodeo by they way.
