@jays545 you had the shake when you didn't step on the brake petal or once you stepped on the petal the shake went on

So im in this infamous +60mph Shake/vibration, i have replaced my thrust arm(Upper control arms) replaced my front passenger shock, put in new wheels (Style 95's 19x9,19x10 rear) they all have 7/32+ tread on all tires i believe the fronts are 12/32 treads... anyways, I've gotten all the wheel balanced... the guys put it on a lift this is another shop from where i usually take my e60 to since they do wheels and tires here... they put it on the lift everything checks out "really good and in great shape" all wheels were balanced again and i still have that vibration my steering wheel does not shake simply light vibration but the car shakes front passenger seat shakes... What is wrong guys? any suggestions?
Why did you only replace one shock ? I think its a good idea to do both sides to have an equal and balanced ride feel .. its recomended to replace in sets ..

It was hard looking for the other "Sport M Strut" but i will be replacing my shocks with Megan Coilovers All around hopefully the shake will go away, As far as tie rods 2 Shops have said all my suspension components check out, they both said go for an alignment and get rid of the toe i am no looking forward to install the coilovers and then do the alignment

How old are the tires? Date code is on the side. I had a similar problem, bought from a retired gent who didn't drive it much. Tires were 6 years old but reasonable tread. Had them balanced twice before I checked the date code. New tires fixed the problem.

I am considering new tires they make that thump whenever I'm reversing or make a sharp left or right turn under 10mph
