Default 97 T&C, trying to id a 'shimmy' problem..

230k and after a variety of work done, there is a 'shimmy' at most speeds. Dont' really feel it in the steering. New balanced tires. 'Newer' brakes. Trans and axles replaced.

Shimmy is worse on some trips and not so bad on others.

At this age and miles the engine isn't 'smooth as a baby' but doesn't seem to be misfiring at idle. Planning new plugs/wires. My thinking is that alignment or suspension related.

Any techs (or others) who can contribute??

Thanks,

Gene
