My truck was running good, well just recently it shimmies between 35mph and 45mph, I know I need brakes and possibly rotors wqill this be a cuase for that shimmy, Oh btw this all started when I did the tire rotation at 6000 miles. Other than than that there was no problems before hand.

Tire balance or a loose wheel.

Brakes won't cause that unless it only does it when braking.

I had this problem at same speed. Tires were balanced but had flat spots and cupping in front.

new BFG AT's solved it.

Drove me crazy, though, as I had just installed new front wheel bearings, and had to keep tightening them up, due to play at top and bottom of wheel.
I'd tighten them up, mini death wobble MDW would diminish( making me think, " I'm onto it") only to come back w/i 50 to 100 miles.

BEarings finally got snugged up( probably were getting loose from the MDW) but still MDW remained. Confused

Got an allignment check and tech told me tires were probable cause, as steering box, and rest of suspension wasn't it.
