Description of the problem	I think you need to look into the issue of shimmy or vibration in the maxima's 2004-2005-2006. My car has the shimmy and i and the dealer have done just about everything nissan says to do to resolve the issue. I even bought new tires another brand and it is still there. $$$ what is happening is that there is a constant shimmy in the steering wheel. The shimmy is mostly very light except for certain speeds the you can see it in the wheel. It is not the tires .. It may be the wheels or the steering components. If you or nissan would poll all of the owners of the maximas you will find that this issue is the norm and not exception. Go out onto the web to www. Maxima. Org and under 6th gen look at the complaints under shimmy. I don't know of anyone who has a maxima that doesn't have the shimmy and i am sure there are many who just live with it. This issue will keep me from buying another maxima. This could be a safety issue at higher speeds as that is when the shimmy really shows up. Please take a closer look at this. *jb
