I think checking wheel alignment will do. They must have been a problem when they are doing it. Lets others check in for you.

After working in a body shop all my working days, I have found that parts being worn out may magnify the problem of wheel shimmy, but even with a worn out front end, if the tires are computer balanced, you should not have any shimmy problems unless you hit a bad bump.
That's my story and I am sticking to it.

i've replaced every front end component, and it ended up being my steering rack.


sigh.
