From my notes from Dennis O.
On the front of the rack at 90 degrees to the pinion input is an adjuster.
Loosen the locknut (17mm) and turn the center stud down a little (7mm).
This adjusts a nylon pad onto the back side of the rack and pushes the rack onto the pinion taking up any slack in the gear mesh. If you over tighten the stud the steering will be stiff, so only make small adjustments. The nylon pad wears quickly in the first 1000 miles. This should fix most of your shimmy problems. If it still persists your tires are at fault.
