- My bet is on the wheels/tires. Any one of the four could be the culprit. Get them all balanced, swap front to back, and check the wheels for true. Sirmoog

- I'll second the other suggestion to check the inner tie rods. There's some spacers and shims in there that can be worn, if there's too much play you will get a side to side shimmy. You can check thes
