    How are the alignment specs? You remember how a shopping cart acts with a bad caster angle?

    Maybe tire/wheel is out of balance? Spinbalance them and/or rotate wheels+tires front to back to see if symptom changes? Also there's gotta be lots more than balljoints in front end that can loosen up. Some bushings may be worn/squished and need swap? Also consider to check all motor mounts?

    Check the track bar, bushing wear in the track bar can cause a condition nick named "death wobble". Another component to make sure that it is in good condition is the steering damper (looks like a shock absorber) that connects to the axle and the center link on some models.
