'97 Lexus ES300 110000 mileage. Have recently replaced all struts and brake rotors and have had tires inspected and balanced but car has now developed a shimmy in steering wheel at speed of 30 mph and less. At higher speeds the vibration in steering wheel disappears. What do you suggest?

I would look at having my front end suspension parts like the tie rod ends checked for wear, since they can give you a shimmy too.

I know the tires were inspected, but have them rotated front to back, not an x pattern and see if it changes anything, kinda sounds like a tire is seperating

Get the cv joints checked and the carrier bearing on the passenger side axle.

Brake Masters will check this for free and tell you what needs to be repaired if you are still having a hard time with it.
