Hello. I have a 98 4runner, automatic 2 wheel drive, and there is a noticeable shimmy at highway speeds of about 70 and above. Shimmy is less noticeable around 40-45, but still there. The shimmy is felt in the seat area, both driver and passenger side. No vibration in steering wheel at all. The shimmy is not constant, but is felt every 3-4 seconds at these speeds. Any ideas? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Check rear tires and do high speed balanced on them
Also I would check the drive shaft and the u joint
