Bad Shimmy Comes and Goes

1995 900 SE V6
Had the front struts and strut mounts replaced. Lower control arms on both sides also replaced about a year ago.
Will be driving about 70 on the hwy and all of a sudden front end sounds noisy, like a grinding. Steering wheel shakes back and forth like a bent rim, bad tire etc. I pull over and see nothing wrong...and within a few minutes, the car acts as if nothing has happened?
What is strange is that it is intermittent. Once it comes, it stays there at all speeds, accelerating and decelerating.
Occasionally turning the wheel seems to alleviate it, but it is persistent until the car sits a few minutes.
Had car on lift and all looks good. All connections are tight.
Any ideas?
What would be the symptoms of a bad stanchion arm? Bearing, Rotor? etc...
