I am experiencing wheel wobble at freeway speeds. At around 60 the steering wheel wobbles, but you can drive through it. At about 70 it quits. I assumed it was a tire out of balance. So I rotated the the backs to the front. No difference. I then put a different set of tires on the car. Same issue. Then I switched yet another set of tires from the race car. Same issue. Unless I have 4 sets of tires that are out of balance I'm a bit perplexed. The entire front end has completely new everything. Any thoughts on where to check?

I've been experiencing similar problems. Car tracks very well at all speeds when traveling in a straight line. I have a rocking sensation that presents itself mainly when traveling at speed in corners and on ramps. The car has been aligned, wheels are balanced and true. Bearings are adjusted properly. Anything else that could be the culprit before I dive into replacing the steering coupler? Thanks.
