Two new front shocks on, problem solved.

The observation while driving mentioned by Chris could likely be used to determine if the problem is similar to that noted by "tonywy" and suspension related BUT in your earlier thread and in maybe an email conversation I mention an "on car" spin balance attempt and that I believe would still be the "tell all" if it's related to tire/wheel.

I like the observation while driving and I often see cars on the highway that I can't image how they tolerate it inside the car while watching wheel/tire reaction to the pavement.

I believe you need to do the observations and let someone else do the driving. You just pick the speeds, I'd think 70 MPH should show all. Good pavement a necessity.
