Symptoms: Around 60 and 65 MPHs the front end gets wobbly, as in out of balance....for example...I noticed that ambient temperature affects how bad it is...like is not so bad in a hot day and worse in cool days...

I have this car since brand new, it does have the infamous steering vibrations or shimy, these are the things Ive done while attempting to resolve this issue:

New rimsNew tires" control arms" TC rodsBalance and alignment multiple timesNew rotors" tie rods" shocksRotate drive shaft 180 dgSteering rack spring fix Nissan notice (new nissan rack spring)Steering rack is not loose, bushings seems okEngines mount OK

Im out of options, is either live with it or try something else... I think the ambient temp is the key to solve this puzzle..is something minor, but enough to cause the unbalance.

I will appreciate any help.....thanks

Sounds like brake rotors, thats usually the cause of a wobbly front end.....
