Default Fairly new member needs help

Hello,
I am Mark Biro in Sarasota Florida.
I have a 2002 XK8 Conv.
Just hit 40,000 miles.
I have the steering wheel shake at 70mph, that is gone at 80+mph.
Have had several around town try to road force balance and even
installed a new set of Hankook tires, still there.
No pulls (drives straight) brakes are great.
Any body know where to go, where they will NOT give up.
Does anyone in Sarasota have a clue?
Thanks for any input.
I am learning a lot here so far, and hope to give input someday!
Mark

I have moved your post to the XK8 forum.

During my tire replacement "adventures" I found that I had 2 wheels that were out of round. I sent them out for trueing and re-finishing and no more shimmy. A road Force Balancer should have the probes to detect the excessive wheel Runout.
