I'm on the list for my local shop to take a look and get this solved. But, in the interim, I put my wife inside and had her pump the pedals and it was plain to see the "slop" that exists in the steering linkage. Visible movement in the areas circled. I do not know the part names, but that top piece that connects to the pedal steering pushrods and that also connects to the steering dampener is loose relative to the actual steering torque tube. That horizontal bolt (it is a bolt?) has a ton of slop on it. I can feel the looseness when I steer and I think the shimmy itself is undampened because the tube shimmies inside of the slop range of that upper piece, thereby never allowing the shimmy dampener to work.
What kind of a job is this? Relatively cheap?
