    ok, not a shimmy, but general 'roughness', and speed independant. smooth as a whistle on the interstate however.

    oddly, today, 70 degrees outside, drove much smoother.

    very odd

    I had this problem and I must have taken it back to my mechanic four times before they realized that they had failed to tighted the tire onto the axle all the way, so the tire would wobble on the highway. You might want ot make sure all the tires are torqued on tight.
