Front end shimmys or waddles back and forth a bit at speeds of 60-70. Just put new tires on car hoping that would help, needed tires anyway. Didn't help. With the tires off I can not move the rotors side to side or up and down and feel any slop or play. Any ideas as to where the shimmy is coming from?

Check tires for high speed balance
check inner tie rod ends
