Steering wheel shimmys at speeds 35 and up just changed rotors and pads no play in new wheel bearings doesnt shimmy when i brake though. any help would help greatly thanks

have the front end suspension checked by an accredited front end specialist shop for the shakes at high speed under brakes There may be a problem with the brake pads and disc rotors as well

The rotors, caliper, pads are brakes, and won't cause shimmy, even if the rotors are running out, you will only feel it in the brake pedal.

Shimmy is usually bad tie rods or wheel bearings, bad hub. If you changed the rotors, then you already have jacked up the car, you need to jack it up and move the tire just as if it was turning left and right, it should NOT move, if it does, its the tie rods. Now normally if it moves Lt or Rt its tie rods, if there is play pulling it directly towards you and pushing it back its bearings hub. Pushing on top and bottom face of the tire and getting play is usually the ball joint. If you can't figure out which one it is have a tech check it and tell you, then do the work yourself if you have to.

car shakes which is called shimmy shake,if brake pads been replaced wheels still shimmy, you have worn brake rotors with low and high spots,you could have bad wheel bearing, you have worn out tie rod ends and worn out ball joints,you could have tire out of balance,also you could need front end alignment.many things will cause wheels to do the shimmy shake.

hi this could be down to the fact that the tyres may be miss shaped due to the rotors being deformed and also you might now have worn ball joints on the hubs, to check either of these, jack front of car up, grab the top and bottom of wheel and push and pull top and bottom if it is a ball joint there will be play in the wheel, also this will indicate weather the wheel bearing is also warn, spin the wheel and listen to see if you can hear a grinding noise that will be the bearing, to check the tyre, spin the wheel and look along the edge of the tyre if it is deformed you should see a wobble in the tyre...hope this helps

if you have warped rotors and brake gently you may not feel the shimmy,but will if braking hard.i would fit new rotors and while the wheels were, off also adjust the wheel bearings, if needed.that way you have elliminated two of the most common causes of shimmy.

If your tires were not properly balanced then it will cause that. Also, if your rotors are warped then icould cause this to happen. YOu would also notice it when braking if rotors are warped.

possible you may have bad bearings toyota reccomends service every 40,000 miles and replacement at 80,000 miles have them rechecked ,royedwardtat

HEY I HAVE A QUESTION YOU DONT FEEL THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES AT HIGH SPEED IF YOU DO THE PROBLEM IN WHIT YOU BRAKES YOU NEED TO DO NEW SURFACE IN YOU ROTORS AND PUT NEW BRAKES

Since you can make it better by unloading the tire a little I would suspect a wheel bearing. You also may just have a bad ball joint. Also if the tires were just rotated and you developed the problem you may have a defective tire.

In absence of more information, this is usually an symptom of warped brake rotors. A rotor can build up enough heat in a hard stop to be bendable especially with the high hydrolic pressure a brake pad can bring to bear. Simply, If you keep the brake pedal depressed hard after a hard/long stop it can warp the rotor. (NOTE: at a hard stop, as soon as possible let the car creep forward a few inches at a time so the brake pad won't be on any one spot too long, plus keep light brake pressure --only enough to keep the car from rolling). The warped rotor causes the brake pad and caliper to float too far from the rotor and you won't feel the shimmy until you apply brakes. Under brake pedal pressure each time the wheel rotates under brake pressure the rotor and caliper will rapidly vibrate a few millimeters to each side giving the sensation of a shimmy in the sterring wheel. Most of the time this can be corrected by having the rotors resurfaced( aka Turned)

Out of balance or out of round tires can also cause a shimmy but should occur at a given speed range. Warpped rotor shimmy occurs during deceleration.
