Brake Shimmy

I look forward to the groups' thoughts on my problem. When I'm under moderate braking from high speed (e.g. braking from 70MPH on the interstate onto an exit ramp but not "stop on a dime braking"), I get serious shimmy. I feel nothing in the brake pedal but the entire car shakes and the steering wheel jerks significantly. So I thought it had to be warped rotors. I replaced the front brake rotors and pads. However, I still have the same problem! Any thoughts on what it could be?

Thanks.

heres your help.

Dude change your rears as well. You cant be sure which ones were warped unless you check lateral runout. I had the same problem and I changed my front and rear rotors and pads and replaced them with slotted and cross drilled. Amazing difference and It only cost me a little under 400. Go on ebay they have good deals.
