My steering wheel shimmies when at highway speeds. If I go around a fairly sharp curve, the shimmy stops, or eases up. If I go around a curve in the opposite direction, it starts again. If I change cruise speeds, it will start again. I bought it last May, with only 51k miles on it. The dealer had put new Firestones on it. I took it back to them to check balance and alignment, which were deemed okay. I have the stock rims on it, so the rotor washer thing shouldn't apply to it.

Sounds like you need a hub bearing.
To check,you can put the car up on jack stands and check the front wheels for excessive play.

Check tie rod ends. If they're even the tiniest bit loose, they will cause a shimmy.
