And let's not forget the idler arms.........There should be 2 on this unit and they're NOTORIOUS for causing vibration problems.........Anything the brakes start as far as shimmy goes, gets picked up by the loose front end parts.........amplified thusly and then it's HANG ON time........

Does the tire move when you push and pull on it from the 12 and 6 o'clock position? IF it does, then you may have a bad bearing.
My car currently has a bad bearing, makes no noise, but the steering wheel has a slight shimmy in it. I just haven't replaced it yet.
