    It drives straight and does not feel loose but at around 72 it gets a shimmy. I tried turning the wheel a little when this occurred to see if it was steering related but it had no effect. It has new tires and a recent carrier bearing replacement. I plan to get a wheel alignment and replace the rear engine mount. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Make sure who ever replaced the CB correctly align the DS joint.

    I used a white pencil to mark all the joints, it had a shimmy before the bearing. The old CB did not look that old and it was not OEM, so maybe whoever did that might have messed it up. I'll stick a cam under there and see if the DS is doing it.
