I have a 2009 v6. I replaced the tie rods, put in new struts and added a strut bar brace an D I still get a shimmy above 70 mph. Maybe t he lower control arms. What do you think?
front end shimmy

Does the shimmy increase and decrease with the speed of the car or the RPM of the engine/drive train?
In other words:
can you reproduce the shimmy in any gear at different speeds (Ex: 1st gear @ 25 mph and again in 2nd gear at a higher mph)?
-or--
Does it start at a certain speed (ex: 70 mph regardless of what gear you are in)?
-or--
Does is stop/start in a speed range (ex: 50 mph to 70 mph regardless of gear)?
-or--
Does is start/stop in an rpm range (ex: 2000 -3000 rpm regardless of speed)?

Things to check:
wheel/tire balance and condition/warp
hubs and bearings
tie rods and tie rod ends
bushings
struts
...and anything else I've forgotten. Hopefully others will chime in. @Mustang5L5
