Any body know what may be causing a slight shimmy after I replaced all 4 tires and had the new tires balanced. The amount of vibration has been greatly reduced since I replaced the tires. I have a 1996 Toyota Avalon with 106,000 miles on it. Runs great otherwise. Thanks

Warped brake rotors? Worn suspension components (control arm bushings)? Is it at all speeds, only at certain speeds, only under acceleration, only during braking, ?

Pretty much at all speeds. Really don't feel much at lower speeds, say 25 mph or less and is only a slight shimmy at speeds higher than that. Since I replaced all 4 tires last week most of it has gone away. Thanks

Bent wheel(s)? /If so, you'll have to pay extra to have the tires balanced on the car in order to cure it. And then you wont be able to rotate every 5K w/o incurring that expense all over again......

IMO, the tire shop should have caught that when they balanced them up.
So actually......it could be what others have said regards control arms or ball joints possibly. Meh, I am not sure, but a good tire shop could spot it immediately.
