Low tire pressure can contribute to shimmy.

Does your PU have the original front suspension and steering? I was unaware CW Moss had a replacement for the 32 drag link. The originals are fixed in length with all the internal parts replaceable, the two end caps are removable and serve as adjustment points.

While it might help mask the problem, it certainly doesn't address the problem.

Sounds like a band aid masking a fundamental wear or adjustment issue. When new or properly maintained no stabilizers were required.

We rebuilt everything on our 32 pickups front end. Drove fine and smooth for 500 miles . Out of the blue a violent death wobble, stopped drove another 5 miles and here we go again. Simply i made the mistake of assuming the PO had the correct tie rod length .wrong it was 1”3/8 total out of alignment .
