Take your hands off the wheel and try accerlating at any speed and watch the
wheel.  Does it shimmy back and forth?  If it does more than likely its bad
axles.  My driver side's boot was completely gone when i replaced it, but
before i did the wheel really rotated back and forth.  now its gone.  still
got some clicking on the other side now but will get to that eventualy.  Id
say it is that first and formost.  But also try reseating your wheels by
loosening the lugs and then as you are slowly seating them in the holes,
shake the wheel around trying to get it fully centered on the lugs, thanks
to Geo for this one.  Or you could go get your wheels balanced, its usualy
cheap but doubt it will fix it.

On a side note when we did my axle the other day you wont believe what we
found.....dang crash bolt on the upper strut bolt.  Needless to say i was
surpised, and we replaced it with a normal bolt.  And will do the same to
the other when I get another axle.  Dang people triying to get me killed i
think
