Are your tires the factory spec size? In some cases, this can cause the problem. I put oversized tires (onto stock rims) on another car I owned, only to be plagued by an annoying shimmy at around 35-45 mph. Tires wore out extremely fast too! Replaced them with the factory width, and the problem disappeared!
