thanks
I called the dealer on tuesday and told them that the shimmy was still there. the man said he was going to call and see if there were any reported problems. I still have not heard back from him. Plan to call again tomorrow

I have not seen this to be a issue. I would sugest sticking with a suzuki dealer and finding one with a road force balance machine. Most likley a bad tire or wheel. Thay can also sway tires and wheels from another one. I would not get to crazy yet a cool head works both ways.

When i turn my wheel and go over like a bump or sometimes even with my wheel straight.. there is a loud popping coming from R finder, kinda like an axle.. but they cant find anything wrong, anything happening to anyone else?

I got a brand new 2008 SX4 Sport and it has exactly same problem. It vibrates from day 1 I drove it home. Took it back to dealer asked for replacement on third day and the sales manager talked me off to send the car to service department. Got the car back three days later and the front end shimmy is still there. Ask for replacement and got refused again.
 
So frustrated that I have to take the brand new car to service department again and again.

I bought a used 2008 SX4 Sport with 35,000 kms and it has the same problem. Brought it back and they said three of the four tires need to be balanced. The vibration is still there after the balancing. Did they figure out the problem with your car?

I will never deal with suzuki again. Many of the problems I am experiencing now could have been detected and corrected during the scheduled inspections at the dealership. They neglected to mention any of the many leaks the car now has. I won't be surprised if suzuki cars disappear altogether...I'd never buy another.
