How are the tie-rods? Loose bearing in hub? bent beam?

check the tread area of your tires. check for choppy tread or a wave or bubble in the tread area. you could have a broken steel belt in the tire. also check to make sure the beam mounting bolts to chassis aren't loose.

I used to have the same problem best I remember I think I narrowed it down to wheel bearings not adjusted correctly.

Check out www.thesamba.comGo to the classifieds and search "slotted". At least 4 or 5 ads out there for them. |

Have you got a pic of your wheel? I have a couple of different sets. Maybe a match.

Given the significant rake you have due to your tire selection I wonder if you have lost too much caster. I would suggest 1 (or possibly 2) sets of caster shims.
