     Jim;- Not bled fully/ air in the system? I've encountered this after 
     brake jobs when I thought ALL the air was out, then on test drives 
     (swear it!) MINUTE amounts of air were still in the system (at the 
     caliper end) and caused the brakes to "grab/release" in a fairly fast 
     cycle between the 2 wheels. 
     
     -"Heating" of everything on a couple test drives and re-bleeding 
     stopped the "shimmy". I encountered this on a TR-4 and an Olds 
     Cutlass.
