Or something ;-)
Probably just a good alignment, but I was told that the King pins needed to 
be replaced, before they (a mechanics shop) could align the silly thing.
Now, I'm thinking that maybe they were looking to make some extra hundreds of 
$$$'s, instead of just aligning the thing.
Around 60mph, it gets quite the 'wwobblee', enough to nearly jerk the 
steering wheel outta yer hand!
Getting above that speed, or hanging around 55mph it's not bad.
