I've got a 91 Mustang GT with some heavy front end shakes. I think the best way to describe it is that it feels like the front tires are shaped like eggs.
Just had them rotated and rebalanced and still shaking at all speeds. HELP!!

Find a shop that will spin balance them on the car. The rotors may be out of balance and balancing the tires on the car will be the best way to address that.
I was wondering does the brakes pedal pulsate when you apply the brakes? If so you could have some severly warped rotors.
I would check all suspension components under the front or have someone do it. Some folks can get close guesses by examining tire wear. Worn ball joints can also cause shimmy when traveling and braking. Worn shocks can cause these type problems but usually not severe. Just get under it and start twisting and pulling. You can check ball joints slop by pulling on either front tire from the sides (front to back) any questionable movement is suspect to replacement. And remember, driveability and comfort is only as good as the equipment your running. Worn tires and suspension components cancel out balence, alignment, and such.:)
My '79 Mustang got the shakes with some Chinese radials on it. Drove me crazy til I chucked the tires. Some rigs just don't like some tires.
