More likely than not you have a tire out of balance or a bent wheel. Have your tires inspected and balanced.
Tire(s) out of balance/old, bent wheel, etc.
Worn front end parts, suspension issues, slipped belt in the tires, tire balance problem.

check the steering stabilizer
Bring to a shop that has an ABS scanner to determine problem with ABS light Sounds like rotors may be out of round causing shimmy need to be resurfaced or replaced
I t can cause a shimmy in the front end while driving if it is wore bad enough. It can cause your tires to wear abnormally. If it completely breaks, it can cause you to loose control of steering on the tire that it broke off of.
Front rotors could be warped. Replace
Warped rotors is the most likely cause. Have the rotors turned or replaced and new pads installed.
How does a car's front end shimmy at a complete stop? Shimmies only happen with the car moving. Need more specific information in the question.
They both have the same job, the only thing difference is their application. The "shock" dampens continued vibrations from the springs while the "stabilizer" dampens the "shimmy" that the front tires cause.
