I would get the swivel pre-load checked. If it's never been done I'd
stake my mortgage on it being ready for reshimming. Not horribly
expensive and will transform the on-road manners.
At the same time, for the small cost, I'd fit a decent new steering
damper. A ten minute job, just make sure you prime the damper before
you fit it (instructions will be included, but you basically compress
and extend it three times or so).
