Easiest fix...and it's fairly cheap...get new balljoints, damper, bearings and bushings. $100 ballpark...that usually fixes everything. If you're tie rods are bad, price jumps, and jumps ALOT if your steering box is bad.....

Chances are though, replacing those things will fix it, as those, like superman stated, are usually the weak parts that gets "worked".....

I've been ignoring mine until I goto put on my front brakes and rims....mine only shimmies from 32ish - 38ish.... otherwise, it's gone. I put in 325lbs of non mixed cement powder bags in my trunk that I had laying around the garage...shimmies got worse. So I took out a 75lb bag, and it actually lessened the severity and shimmies aren't as bad without anything in the trunk AND with the 325lbs....seems like the 250lbs is the magic "band-aid" for me....
