Defective kyb = vibration 60-70mph?
#24
The shimmy went away on my '99 when I put on the Konis.
I also have a '91 with 188k miles and AFAIK original, basically non-functional shocks. Couldn't even drive it at 65-70 on the highway. Got the wheels balanced properly (no need for road force, just round wheels and tires and a proper dynamic balance) and it's rock-solid at all speeds.

I have had my tires rebalanced like 3 times and still I have a shake at anything above 65ish. I wonder if it would have anything to do with only putting weights on the back of the wheel. I doubt it. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the 65mph shimmy though, since I have had it running smooth before with zero shake. So to the OP, just have the wheels balanced by someone who really takes their time to do it right, and has good equipment, and it may be OK.

I raised the car about 1" on all sides, but the passenger front still sits 1/2" taller then all the other sides. Must be something wrong with that shock/shaft. Anyways the car rides much better now even though it doesn't look as nice anymore, but it will have to do untill my Vmaxx's arrive from FM.
