As far as I can tell "they *all* do that".
There was a thread on the list a while back about this and that was sort
of the conclusion.
Someone had better luck changing tires, and all the things you mentioned
*helped* but at around 40-60 mph (somewhere in there) the shimmy shows
up.
I just make sure I drive faster than that :)
But Officer! I *have* to drive at 90 mph! otherwise I get this wiggly feeling
in my steering wheel..
