    Welcome to TW. With the shimmy, try balancing your tires or get an alignment. For the steering, check your power steering fluid.

    Shimming when you apply the brakes: It may be time replace front rotors and pads (if it bothers you).

    Shimming at different speeds without touching the brakes: tire(s) out of balance.

    Sounds like you need to take it into a trusted mechanic

    Ok back again ,I took to trusted mechanics they found that rotors could be turned a little he balanced both front wheels said front end could use alignment , but found nothing with stiffing steering wheel took it on freeway drove fine he said, WoW . I took home started it again, could power steering line be getting air in it , or how do you test power steering pump. Thanks again
