I've also found that some front end vibration on our cars can be fixed with an adustment to the tire pressure.

Shimmy felt and seen on steering wheel .. and only at @ 50 MPH.. I can drive right through and never notice it .. back off to @ 50 MPh and hold speed .. left and right shimmy ..minor but noticable. Side note: Noticed before I swapped tires from original .. presummed once I put on fresh tires and balance that would get it .. I'm going look for a shop that can do premium balance ..may try the local Ford House in the near future to see what they may or may not know with this platform
