Re: Still shimmies- I'm running outa ideas.

A Lancia Aurelia has a shimmy even in perfect condition.  This is down to the
geometry of the steering which gives a little bump steer.  One arm from steering
box to link on the far upright, one arm between links on the uprights each
side.  Its the reason for an idler box to match the steering box on a more
sophisticated system.

Perhaps you have a tiny piece of bump steer in your system?   An Aurelia only
has as much as you'd get from a 4ft long bar at 10 degrees to horizontal over a
1in deflection yet it is noticable.
