Intermittent wobble on Viggen

I have a strange intermittent wobble that feels like it is coming from the right front of my 99 Viggen, 68K miles. Everything will be smooth until about 45 mph and then the wobble comes in and shakes the steering wheel, then goes away. Nothing dangerous, just disconcerting and causing images of expensive calls to eeuroparts.
I had a similar high speed wobble a couple of years back that was regular and predictable when the rear tires wore their insides off, but I felt that in the seat, this wobble is in the front wheels. New rear tires and Talliaferro's rear camber shims cured that wobble, tires still worn slighly on insides but not bad. Recent replacement of rear shocks due to leaks, no effect on wobble. No known damage in the rims, never in an accident.
Front tires are near the wear bars, but still servicable. P Zero Rossos.
Thoughts run to a bad tire/slipped belt, ball joints, front shocks, lower control mount bushings or motor mounts. Any ideas? Thanks in adance.
