Count me in for the infamous wheel shimmy.
Here is what I tink it is.
Alignment
My cupped tires
My blown shocks
Wheel bearings
Bushings
TC rods
My rotors are warped too
Rack needs to be serviced (there is a TSB about that)
I also think jacking it up my the cross member has soehting to do with it. Maybe it bends something? Who knows...
I'll fix it this summer because I put about 250 miles a month when I am at school.
Temporary fix:
Go really fing fast. You can't feel it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Hope your wheel stays on  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'>
