As far as I can tell I don't have any shimmy in the wheel while breaking on even road. Colorado has a ton of really crappy pavement, I try to do my observations on nice patches Getting balanced tomorrow so hopefully my wheel shake will go away although I think I might need alignment too.

I actually heard a *clunk* on the highway while driving yesterday and thought I kicked up a rock under my passenger tire, I think it might have been son existing weights on the tire because my steering shake is not nearly as bad as it was lol.

OK sounds like the brakes are OK. Alignment has nothing to do with steering wheel shimmy. I'm betting on a bent wheel, tell them to check for a bent wheel.
