Rough Riding



My '86 5kcstq started shaking my fillings loose today.  Yesterday we got
about 4 or 5 inches of snow (I need new snows before I can fully appreciate
this car in the white stuff).  Ok, Ok, I couldn't resist the temptation to
do a few spinnies in an empty snow covered parking lot, but I didn't hit
anything.  The car has been running great...until today.  I got on the
interstate and at about 60 mph, the steering wheel started shaking pretty
bad on clear pavement.  The struts are new Boges.  The tires ar Bridgestone
via Sears.  They were spin balanced in the last two or three months.  The
car never did this before.  Our adnoH has done this in the past when the
tire tread got low.  The tread on these is not as great as it once was, but
there's gotta be 1/16" or so left.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!
