Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Start with a good road force balance & check for runout
Leading evidence: 'Check runout' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check runout' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just wanted to pass along a big thanks to everyone who posts helpful information on these forums.
After picking up my 03 C4S, the clutch seemed unusually stiff to me. the guy I bought it from had put a new one in, so i was like
Then after reading about the clutch spring that everyone is unhooking for better feel, i wondered if the previous owner had done this.
Sure enough it wasn't unhooked but the spring was broken in three places!
So even though my Indy said I needed a new clutch, I just need a new spring.
Again, just wanted to pass along the thanks, now if someone could just figure out my shimmy in the steering when I hit bumps it'd be a perfect car!
it's called road feel.
It depends on what you are used to and how bad it is. You do get more feedback than say a Mercedes.
Make sure your air pressure is right. Also, bushings may be worn or it could be a bad shock.
had road force balance done today. Verdict....NO HELP.
I'm going to try shocks next up front to see if that helps. Have compared it to my patients' 997 C4S which is running 19", H&R springs and his car doesn't do what mine does.
only does it when going over something like a seam in the road, like where a bridge is and i have to be doing at least 60Km/hr, the faster I go the worse it gets. maybe it is just road feel or bump steer but the car doesn't jump around, just the steering wheel shimming in my hands for a few times, then stops.....
Let me know if you find anything wrong. That sounds like mine. It never feels unstable, but I do get a little "feedback" if I hit a bumpy patch through a sweeper at speed.
Hey SSST, I get the same thing, but I would call it more than a 'little' on my car. I will let you know once i get the new shocks in. might take me a week or so.
