First, the vibration most likely is from a slightly out of balance tire
unless
you have a worn ball joint.
The bad wind handling sounds like my Rabbit was. I had a 4 wheel
alignment done and WOW what a difference! I do know that one
rear had the camber off by about 2 or 2.5 degrees as well as the toe
being off. I don't recall how off the front was.
It sounds like you may have 0 to positive camber. As an extreme
example, when I got my 914 someone had cranked the suspension
all the way down thinking the ride height adjustment was a nifty, easy
way to lower the front end. It worked but at a price. The camber was
massively negative. The toe wasn't too far out. That car could go
through 6 inches + of slush with no hands on the wheel! :) Flat or
positive camber would/should have an opposite affect.
