I'd re-check the tires for balance and roundness, and look at the wheels carefully. Are they straight? Phil Barnes (peb3@cornell.edu) Cortland, NY (nowhere near New York City) '71 TR6 CC61193L (21 ye

My bet is on the wheels/tires. Any one of the four could be the culprit. Get them all balanced, swap front to back, and check the wheels for true. Sirmoog

I'll second the other suggestion to check the inner tie rods. There's some spacers and shims in there that can be worn, if there's too much play you will get a side to side shimmy. You can check thes
