Chuck, I have CAV mono #8 and she's rock steady up past 100 in side winds and with uneven pavement. There's definitely something off based upon what you have described.

Some basic stuff to check would be the steering rack - make sure there's no movement in the rack mounting, or, in the ball joints etc. Then, check the A arms - the mounting bushings and the ball joints, etc. Also, check the wheel bearings. There shouldn't be any slop in the wheel bearing clearance. Take a look at the wear pattern on the tires also - look for anything strange. Example would be wear patterns on the outside or inside of the tire patch as this could indicate excessive toe out or toe in. Ensure your tire pressure is good and consistent across all tires.

The above will ferret out 90% of the typical problems. If you don't find anything based upon the above checks then repost and we'll take it from there. Good luck!
