Car has 2000 miles. Is there a shop in the Pacific Northwest that is the best at fixing this ? Steering Damper ? Thanks in advance for any advice..

Hopefully you have already resolved your problem. I also have SPO 2028 and had the same problem. I had the wheels computer balenced and got the same shimmy at 60 and up. I then had them Hunter balanced. That's where they put a motor that turns the wheel on the car and then they make the appropriate weight add/removal.

Problem resolved. It has not shimmied since. The Hunter balancing system is really a step back in time. It used to be big in the 60's and 70's until computer balancing came in. However, since our cars are so light, this is really the only way to go.

Good luck.
