Wheels still shaking?!
I just got the wheels balanced at Lexus for $40.00 which isnt bad if you ask me! The problem of the front wheel shakes very little around 70-75mph.. My gut feeling is that since I took a look at my control arms and the bushings are torn pretty bad.. can this cause the front wheels to shimmy a little?

I do apologize I wanted to clearly state that most of the components are NEW!!! New BF GOODRICH Advantage T/A tires, sway bar bushings, wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, KYB struts, coil springs (they were all badly rusted), sway bar links, and now the the OEM control arms are going to be installed soon hopefully the shakiness goes away after this project of installing them is complete!
My ES300 if you folks were wondering!!

Wow very nice, car looks great. I would look into the control arms and if its not that, it could even be a bent rim (hard to bend one of those 16s though). I used to have lifetime tire balances at a place called Dunn Tire, and no matter what they did my car would shake. I ended up bring it to a Mr. Tire and the shaking went away, so it could even be the balancer
