When they were new a few of them did this so it can be that bad.

Sorry - didn't explain - but you've both got it right anyway - it's that weird diagonal dip-and-recover wriggle thing. Mine stopped for a while when the rear Activa ram was misbehaving and the bush was dying. Once these were OK the shimmy started again. Does the pump kick in every time this happens? I'm ashamed to say I've never noticed.

The so-called shimmy thing is totally synchronized with the pressure regulator "clic" on my Xantia...Actually its quite annoying because it's periodical...

That would make a lot of sense. It's probably caused by LHM oozing around something in the Activa rams. I'd worry a bit more if it was somthing new. In fact it has been doing this consistently for the last seven years....
