98 shimmey hmmm?

Greeting to everyone and Happy 4th of July
My wifes 98 expe has a shimmey or vibration at 65 MPH or greater. Its a 2WD as 72k miles on it. Tires on it have less than 5k on them. Heres what i have done so far. Rebalanced all 4 tires again. Tighten wheel bearing ( they had play in them) And now i am thinking it might be the Idler Arm. It seems to have a small amount of movement in it.
Can anybody think of anything else to try if the idler arm does not correct the problem?

Thanks for the help
Mike
HAPPY 4TH JULY

I did a little looking and I found to check the drive shaft it could be warped/bent. Gonna give it a shot.
