Angular vibration, often referred to as shimmy, is a type of oscillatory motion where a tire moves side to side. This movement can be due to various factors, including imbalance in the tire or wheel, alignment issues, or worn suspension components. It is typically observed as a rapid back-and-forth motion that can affect the handling and stability of the vehicle. Proper maintenance and addressing any underlying issues are crucial to preventing or correcting angular vibration.
