<VV> Front End Shimmy

[jbailey at daytonwa.net]

I have to agree with Shaun. My very first car, a 1965 Monza Convertible
was purchased in 1974 with 35,000 miles on it. The car always had that
shimmy at 35 - 45 mph as described below. A year or so later, my father
bought a '66 Monza Convertible and it had the same problem. No matter
what we did with either car, the shimmy always remained. Both cars had
the "cocktail shakers" in place.

Does anyone have a convertible that doesn't shimmy at least a little in the 35-45 mph range? It's the reason the "cocktail shakers" were implemented. Are yours intact? yea, Vairily ... Shaun
