Wheel Shimmy?
If lowered too much, could be CV joint strain, if you have parked ... not so good, (kissed a curb), the stock tires (as well as most low profile tires) are prone to bruising, which causes a "bubble" to form on the sidewall. This causes shimmy at 80+ MPH. (the voice of experience) check the tires closely, it can be hard to spot.

Okay heres the things to do:
1. Remove the tinnerman nuts (speed nuts) one on each rotor underneath the wheel.
2. Grab some hubcentric rings if your wheels are aftermarket
3. ROADFORCE Balance the tires/wheels, thats the only way you'll ditch a high speed shimmy is with a dynamnic balance instead of a static balancer, however RF balancers are over 15grand and most shops dont have them.
4. Make sure none of the wheels are bent
5. Its unlikely an alignment would cause a shimmy, however it could, make sure everything is aligned properly and if you need a camber kit, buy the bolts, they're cheap enough and they'll help with tire wear.
6. Make sure none of the belts in the tires are bad.
7. Make sure none of the wheels are bent.
8. Make sure your brakes aren't warped either, the caliper banging against the rotor could also cause a wheel shimmy at higher speeds and it would have NOTHING to do with the wheel whatsoever.

well I found out what the deal was, the wheels have a runout in them. So the now its time to get some new stronger wheels. Thanks for the help forum.Later
