James-
You failed to mention why you think it's the front end so I'm just throwing
things out here.  Steering wheel wiggle?  I know it sounds obvious (and I
realize I will have embarrassed myself for mentioning it) but have you
checked the rims/tires to be true?  Try swapping wheels front to back.
Also the u-joints in the driveshaft (propshaft)?  This can cause one heck
of a vibration if one of these has failed- a balance problem will usually
peak at certain speeds while a out of round or bent rim/tire will usually
get progressively worse- as speed increases
