take it to a service center and see what you can get for free. like new struts etc
they can attempt to fix your shimmy
i never had a shimmy so i wouldnt know exactly what your talking about.
but when you brake it could be warped rotors.

A shimmy is when your whell shakes at around 60-65

the "wo wo wo" is likely a strut. shimmy, gonna have to try several things until they hopefully find the cause.
