I'd be checking front end parts, is what I'm saying.

The other possibility: does this occur at the same place each time? (I have a specific spot in my commute where the grooves in the paving cause a front end shake)

I understand that those worn parts could cause a shimmy, but why would it happen intermittently? Wouldn't it happen consistently? And the shop (and PPI) inspected all of that and said everything looks good. And the car was aligned very recently. Those problems would have shown up on an alignment.

And it occurs on different roads.
