Anyway I tried to fix every possible thing that caused the shimmy one by one...
I think I have done everything but shimmy seems hesitate to go, I tried to search in few forums about shimmy and got other suggestion to check the steering damper (shock breaker stir) and found the the steering damper is shot... ( ahh I think this may be the cause. Some one from the forum suggest that we can safely remove it completely. I did... and the shimmy become worst. So I replace it with the other damper that I put in bum-bum (my short landy). It actually reduce shimmy to greater extent but not completely eliminating it.
So feeling desperate, I consult to my garage owner, what to do next... He also desperate and suggesting one more steps... if this can not cure the shimmy he also do not know what to do... he suggest Balancing the wheel.. which is quite difficult to balance Land rover wheel as they have bigger hole. Not all garage accept Land Rover wheel balance, only the one who usually balancing wheel truck can do it.
Anyway, I got one garage who accept land rover wheel balance, it cost me US$ 7. and you know what... the Sotong's Shimmy is gone.. completely gone.... even on 85 Kph... Oh joy... Oh joy... Now I can sing and worry no more about wheel wobble.
