shimmy in steering wheel 200

posted by  someone claiming to be MoncureWW on  Sun Jun 4 14:07 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I just had two new front tires replaced on the 1990 244. It was severely pulling to right. After an alignment, the car's steering wheel shimmies noticably after about 60 mph, and has a slightly (very slight) shimmy at lower speeds, somewhat discernable around 45.
What could be causing this? It's not very bad at all; I've driven much worse. I was thinking maybe a bent steel wheel?
Also, the rear tires are snow tires, but I wouldn't imagine the rears affecting anything.
Thanks in advance!
Webb
