Try rotating the tires.  If it still shimmies have a tire shop check your
wheels and see if they're true.  You've done everything else.

Has anyone exeperienced the following...
I puchased a '73 TR6 and at 60 MPH the front end shimmys so...
I replace the rubber rack & pinion mount bushings with the solid aluminium
ones and it still shimmys so...
I balance and align the front end and it still shimmys so...
I repack the front wheel bearings and it still shimmys so..
I replace all the bushings on the front end, install new tie rod ends, new
trunions(sp?) , lower ball joints and shocks and the &*^%$%&^ thing still
shimmys.
I am running out of things to replace.  Anyone got an idea?
