hey guys, I'm having a little problem and I'm not sure what to check first. I've had a vibration in the car since I bought it. Thought it was an unbalanced wheel, then I did springs and shocks and new wheels/tires and it's still there. Not as bad but I do get some steering wheel shimmy around 60mph or so. Sure it's not wheel vibration, would a warped rotor cause that? then again it doesn't really vibrate when I stop.

any ideas? tie rods, ball joints, toe rods?

A warped rotor is possible but it would get worse if you slightly pressed the brakes at that speed. Check your engine and transmission mounts, as well as your driveshaft center bearing. You might want to check your alignment (if you haven't already done so).
