What is causing a "Shimmy" in the front right wheel?
2005 Ford Taurus. There is a "shimmy" in the front right wheel. It mostly happens at 60-75 mph but can happen at any speed at different times. It doesn't get worse when I apply the brakes. It is destroying my tire and brakes on the front right only. Here's what has been fixed so far-wheels have been balanced and rotated, alignment checked, new tire, new axle, new rotor, new front brake pads. Caliper is okay. Two ASE certified mechanics can't figure it out. Any suggestions? They want me to keep throwing money at it. I have already spent over $1000 and the problem hasn't gone away at all.
The alignment was already checked.

Apparently you must have a problem with alignment since it ruins the tire. No other explanation for this to happen except the tire's are not running true. If you had it aligned they should have inspected all the front a frames and bearings/bushings. However sometimes they do not. Find a good mechanic to troubleshoot for you. Replacing parts is to expensive. A good mechanic will find your problem and show it to you before the repair is done. If they cannot show you a problem do not spend money to try a guess solution.
