Front suspension shake

Ive had my MKS since 69k miles. It went through ford's original check and has a ford extended warranty.

when I got it, it I immediately changed the front brakes and it seemed to help it a lot but even just cruising down the highway not on the brakes, it always has a shimmy/shudder in the steering wheel. It doest get worse when braking.

The brakes on it now are about 9k miles and ~6 months old.

I'm really just tired of it and was curious if there was something I was missing.

Might need to have the EPAS sensors and wheel/ABS sensors checked for rust/corrosion.  Tie rods/end links are/were a common malady on the SHOs, I imagine possibly the same on the MKS.  Finally, the suspension setup is a bit different on the MKS (adjustable).  That might have some contribution to the problem.

Are there any codes set in the PCM?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Have you had the wheels balanced or know if they are?
How's the alignment?
Have you checked suspension bushings and tie rod ends?

Agree with 66Galaxie,could be a bent rim causing your issue,did you try swapping/rotating the wheels,hows the condition of your tires?  Z
