[TR] Wheel Shimmy

[Kinderlehrer]

Bob, I was talking with a few Morgan owners when this topic came up. 
According to them, it is an intrinsic Morgan issue having to do with the 
suspension and frame and no amount of wheel balancing will stop it. They 
also said that when it starts to happen, the only way to stop it is to 
accelerate, as counter intuitive as that may sound. They didn't know of any 
permanant cure, other than trading it in for a Triumph :-)
