My Unique also has not had steering wheel shimmy, but it did have a cowl shake at around 60 mph. I got the wheels balanced
and it went away.
My friend's Classic roadsters has a harmonic type of body shudder at 60 to about65 mph. ( feels like it starts at the rear then
passes through the middle of the car and goes out the front, does this over and over) An inspection revealed that the rt rear tire
is out of round radially by about 1/8 " We suspect that is the cause. Does anyone know where to get a tire shaved in the Houston
area?

PS do they use shaving cream when doing so?
