   I know you have been playing with the front-end assuming that is the 
problem but when I had a FIAT that  behaved exactly like your car is, it 
was my driveshaft that was out of balance.  Have you checked to see if the 
weights on the driveshaft have been knocked off ? have you added those 
little magnetic weights for a after market cruise control ? have you 
checked the u-joints ?
