My problems with the steering wheel shimmying at 48MPH was originally only under braking. So I replaced the front brake rotors with 750il units and resolved the shimmy under braking but the got it when just driving at 48mph with no braking. I had also replaced the rear stabilizer arm and inner arm due to ball joint boot dry rot...so I had 3 different garages look at the car, check alignment, balance tires, straightened 3 rims, changed from summer to winter tires, installed Dinan 750 sleeved bushings in the rear stabilizer/thrust arms, all with no difference. Then I switched back to M5 rotors and the problem is 80-90% better. But it is still there. Any ideas?
