 im----If you're looking for a quick, cheap fix. check to see if the
(front) wheel bearings were left loose. Some mechanics don't get them as
snug as they should be. When something's out of balance, the wobble is
usually predictable at certain speeds. The on-again, off-again leads me
to believe it's something that the driver can influence, like steering
position. It's possible that these wheel bearings weren't disturbed when
doing the brake job, but worth a look, anyhow.

Hi guys,
I had a trusted local LBC mechanic replace a few U-joints, along with
brake work. Now truth be told my Six is a pretty poor handling and
rattley ride but of course I love it. Anyway, I seem to have a pretty
bad shimmy at about 50.

Not always there,
but pretty bad when it is. I'm way over due for a tire balance, but
could he have put something back together back there that is causing the
shakes?
Sloane :)
