Front end shimmy

I've been having some steering wheel shake lately and was thinking I'm on the way to some front end work. Got home today and decided to check my tire pressures. ALL 4 were different and all a little low with the left rear only at 40 psi. Think I find my issue Aired them up and should be good to go for now......I hope.

check to see if all the caliper slide bolts are free to move, especially the rear ones.... has a tendency to act as a lever and make the front feel like the issue.
