I just had my mechanic replace:
-rear subframe bushings
-new rear shocks and shock mounts
-new brake discs and pads
-all new front end

There is still a shimmy felt in the car while braking, and it comes from the back, as the shifter moves left to right in tandem with the shimmy.

He said there are some bushings back there in the subframe which would likely be causing it, which are common to go.

Is this sounding familiar to anyone? Which bushings?

Thanks

during braking? it's a warpped rear rotor
