I just recently acquired the subject Miata, it had has been setting under a cover uncranked for 6+- years, after making many minor repairs, the car checks out fine with one exception, there is shimmy or bounce around 65 MPH, seems to be in the rear. We had to replace the tires which were computer balanced when installed, I first thought all they needed was high speed balancing , after $50 for the balancing there wasn't any improvement, OK, next I replace the shocks thinking this has to be the problem but still no improvement , the sensation of a tire being out of balance is still present in the rear. The car has only 38000 miles and in a excellent maintained condition. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem ? I would appreciate any input that might helpful in resolving my dilemma. Thanks in advance, Frank
