Default No more steering wheel shake at 65/85!?!?!?

I wrote it off at first since I was not used to the feel of the new suspension I had just installed. I drove it home after all the hard work. But I no longer was getting the wheel shimmy at 62 to 67 MPH. I took it in the very next day for new tires and a 4 wheel alignment. I got in the car and went straight to the freeway. I set the cruise control to 65 and it was smooth sailing. No where did I get any of the shimmy that we all know and hate. I bumped her up to around 85, where it usually happens again, and nothing but the feel of the new L-tuned shocks and Daizen springs floating along the 405 northbound. I wonder if this is due to the new position that all the connection points of the fromt end joints are now in. All I know is I can't get enough of the new feel. I have fallen more in love than i thought I could!! LOL
