I always get a pronounced front end shimmy and steering wheel shake at between 50 - 60 miles an hour , same everytime and even worse with a slight right hand turn input at highway speeds.The steering is also notchy at slower speeds.

Hi there,

Check that the power steering is not leaking fluid and the pump drive is OK, check simple things first like tyre condition and balance start here.
