Assuming wheel balancing was done correctly, lift the front and check various suspension components and brackets for slack. I had a front suspension bracket replaced on my '93 CSE, fairly small job. Grip front wheel and check for slack. If you are going in excess of 120 mph, then better fix it soon. Johannes
