Check tire balance, check alignment, check all steering components including ball joints, check to make sure the tires are in good condition and not chopped or have a shifted belt.

Just to help, it is the steering wheel you feel the shimmy in, the problem is related to the front. If you feel a vibration in the seat and floor, it's related to the rear tires.
