Slight Shimmy in steering wheel

[Cisco Kid]

I know, "another shimmy thread"
Steering is solid at 59 MPH, at 60 it starts and fades away at 65. Had the tires balanced twice and had a toe in checked. Had the front tires swapped L to R. The company that balanced the are well respected by me and have a good rep. The second time he said the were as goog as the could get them, which to me is kinda odd.
So I'm thinkin moving the rear tires to the front and have them super balanced , maybe it will work

What do you professional Jeepy kids think?

Good as it's going to get means not perfect. I would swap them to the rear and see what happens. If that doesn't work, find a new shop willing to take the time to get them right.

Or try balancing beads?

I will pass on that idea.
Thanks for replying tho!

Pick all the tiny rocks out of the tread lugs. You'd be surprised how many pebbles get stuck in there. Enough to throw a tire out of balance.

That's why I don't run A/T's. I have a crushed granite 300 yard driveway. I'd have millions in A/T's, but only a few in the M/T's. I just couldn't live with all the granite moving into my tread and my garage. It's a major pain!

Had the rear tires moved to the front and both balance to 0.00. No shimmy.
Problem solved!
