Actually, cowl shake (as I understand it) relates to movement between the dashboard and the car's exterior (usually the a-pillar/firewall is most obvious.) I got curious and looked it up (nerd suit, on):
Cowl shake: This is a vibration or shake of a vehicle, usually a convertible type, in the cowl area due to lack of torsional rigidity of the frame and body. A certain amount is almost unavoidable in convertibles unless frame-strengthening weight penalties are of no concern.
Cowl: The part of the vehicle body between the engine firewall and the front of the dash panel. It usually houses the instruments and the plenum chamber for the heater-ventilation system.
I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm guessing what you're referring to is good old-fashioned frame twisting?
take care,
JT
