Shimmie Problem...Steering Damper (archive)

I've installed the anti-shimmy kit, the urethane red rack
bushings AND I've also put a steering damper on my 83 320is
I believe this was found on earlier models. I also have a new rack, new tie rods, new rotors, and all new rubber bushings on the front end.

In order to fit this, you may have to use an earlier tie-rod
on later models.

With all of this I still get a shimmy.
I am upgrading the suspension and will get an alignment.
I hope this will finally cure the problem.
If not, I'm donating my car away......Just kidding
I'll let everyone knows how it feels after.
