Looked up some wobble kits, none made for rack & pinion models.
It comes and goes, usually within the first 30 minutes of driving then if I'm on a long trip it won't wobble for the rest of the drive. Lasts for about 15/20 minutes. Typically I can slow down or stop, then as I get back up to speed it goes away.
Had mechanic lift the car and check steering for any play, everything tight.
Had him check steering for any play on the ground as well. Found some play in the shift linkage.
Replaced it, still wobbles but did the following:
Put it in neutral and hit the gas, no wobble,
Put it back in gear, wobble continued.
Clutched in and hit the gas, no wobble.
Put it back in gear, wobble continued.
When in gear, the higher the speed, the greater the wobbling.
Wheel bearings checked and confirmed to be good.
