Does it pull the car about into grooves in the road as well?

You may need you car laser aligned... You'll need to find a company that has a Hunter 4 wheel laser alignment system local to you.

What wheels and tyres are you running on and how much tread is left???

I've got S-spokes and when the tread was nearing the end of its life, the handling (tramlining) was awful - as soon as the new rubber went on, the problem went away and is fine.

Is the shake through the wheel or the car? If it's the wheel, the balancing or tracking is out but the tracking shouldn't affect it too much, it'll just knacker your tyres faster.

If its coming through the car, I would also suggest you get someone with a good eye to have a look at your wheels (whilst on a ramp and spin the wheel around) to see if you've got a buckled wheel - you could well of hit a pot hole and fubar'd a rim.
