Wheel Shimmy at 65-70mph
I am getting a slight shimmy at my steering wheel when I am going about 65-70 mph. Under that it doens't really happen. Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?

Wheel Balance???
Rotors???

I don't know much about this stuff, so any info would be great...Thanks!

I agree with fsttyms1. That's a classic symptom of a wheel balance problem.

Yup. If you are not stepping on the brake then your wheel balance is off. Need to rebalance your wheels.
