If everything is really OK (wheel, control arms, tires, etc), then you 
wouldn't have a problem.  So you'll have to look more carefully.  Have 
you spun the wheels and looked for runout carefully?  Have you checked 
balance at the same time?
Have you had it on an alignment rack, likely the only way to know if 
geometry was affected?  have you levered to see if the BJs are OK?

Unfortunately, unless you can say "yes" to all those, you have not done 
the necessary homework, and cant rule anything out. I'd guess at least 
two problems, BTW, wheel almost certainly, suspension more than 
possible.
