I ordered one of these last week, it has yet to arrive, so I can't comment on
the installation. 

An interesting data point:  1990 A package, 47K mikes, OEM tires stock shocks
no 65mph shimmy.  Add GAB shocks, get shimmy.  Swap to 185/65/13 snow tires
on 13x7 rims (studded rears) lose shimmy.

Weird huh?
