i would check tires for balancing bro biggest cause of shimmying is it a hard jerk at slow speeds and a vibrating shiimy at faster speeds if so then yeah its balance happens all the time with big tires bro.... doesnt cost that much to get them balanced...

nothing at low speeds..and then a pretty bad vibrating shimmy at higher speeds...(steering wheel moving left to right,left to right vigorously)so does this mean everytime i take it offroad im going to have to get them rebalanced?thats rediculous..i think im going to order a new steering stabilizer..just wasnt sure if i needed the single or dual..?and go have the tires balanced..i hope its nothing more than that..any more help or suggestions are appreciated!
