DId you check both radial and lateral runout? Have you tried swaping the
tires front to rear or tried another set of tires & wheels? If all the
suspension hard bits are ok and the alignment is ok, I wouldn't rule out the
tires & wheels quite yet. Tire uniformity other than obvious runout can
sometimes really upset the steering wheel causing toraional nibble (shimmy)
or steering wheel/column shake/vibration.
Try the front to rear swap if you haven't yet. If that doesn't do it, try
wheels & tires from a car that doesn't have the problem.
Good luck,
Ken P.
