where would you be looking if the 'shimmy' was enough to almost pull the steering wheel from your hands. Also, not consistent, sometimes will sometimes won't speed not always the same but always about 50km/h

Incorrect swivel bearing preload can also cause it a lot too, try removing a shim from either side as well as checking out panhard bushes and I'd be surprised if that didn't help a great deal.
