I have a 2005' Avalon limited that had a front in shake since Dec. of 2011'. It has recently gotten worse. It has went misdiagnosed even by the dealer. All the symptoms u were having I was as well. It turned out to be the inner cv-joint on frnt axles were bad. I had them replaced and this solved the problem. Dealer wants approximately $1300 for the job but i got it done for half by going to a local mechanic and choosing new OEM axles instead of the toyota brand. Good luck !
