    I'd start with an alignment and get tires rebalanced.

    I'd start with the balance. What you describe could be alignment, but is more typical for tires out of balance.

    Agreed….if the trigger speed is 65-70 mph rather than lower speeds there’s a good chance it ain’t the infamous DW. While checking the alignment and balance inspect look for any unusual tire wear. Hit or jump any curbs lately?
