Question volvo shimmy

You feel like the whole cab shakes....we're thinking we got two shimmys. One on light pull, Rocking forward and back. (maybe motor!?) Then another....you get going over 40 mph and shut motor off, (Neutral of course) and as you coast on smooth road you can feel a side to side shimmy. Balanced Steers w/Hunter Road Force (new) Balancer. Tried new Bal. brake drums on str's. Frt end looks ok, spr's, pins, shocks. D/L turns true and angles look good. plus going to slow for d/L to cause a problem. If you hit a pot hole...cab kind of shudders similar to shimmy....replaced rear cab shocks and insp cab frt mounts...going to ck bal on str tires while on trk with Bee Line whl spinner.
like to be the hero and solve problem for new owner...
Had this other volvo month or so ago...similar shimmy. Just wondering if anybody else has run into this?
