When did 'shimmy' get changed to 'death wobble'? By any name, though, when it happens you'll wish it didn't. Years ago I had a '55 Chevy pickup that had a bad shimmy problem. It had lots of other problems, too. I sold it 'as is'.
The cause is always the same thing - worn steering parts. Between the steering box, tie rods, ball joints, etc., there are a lot of joints to wear out and it's all high stress. Lately it seems that Dodge and Ford are getting all the bad press but the others have their share of it, too.
