My DII needed some new rubber - a nice set of Goodyear (not my first choice, but...) tires courtesy of Goodyear (sidewalls were totally cracked on tires less than 2 years old) - had 70% of tread left. Less than $200 for all four.
High-speed balanced, and 4 wheel laser alignment done to spec and tolerances. I don't think it's tire-related, as it happens when they're hot and cold - and correct inflation all around.
The "shimmy" part - for some reason, every once-in-awhile the wheel shimmies about a 1/2" in both directions - between 20-30mph. I don't think it's road related - the roads in FL are pretty good. I know the steering damper is shot - I had it off for some reason when I was replacing something - can't remember what. By hand - the links, rods and knuckles seem tight.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
