You can get the "211 shake" in every VOLKSWAGEN Beetle, when the steering
damper is bad and there is a little bit of slack in the steering gear and/
or the ball joints, king pin etc.

So check if there is any slack in your steering. If yes, repair.=20
Does your vehicle has a steering damper? If yes, is it in order,
if not, can you fit one?

Is the "toe-in" of the wheels correct? Is the camber angle correct?

Hope this helps.

Andreas
