Best thing (and possibly the cheapest, compared to suspension work) to try first is replacing your tires. I had a brand new set of Kumhos I could never get balanced right. The day I replaced them, I thought I had bought a brand new boxster the ride was so smooth... and the tires I replaced the kumho's with were cheaper tires too! (sumitomos).

Im gonna check to see if a weight was knocked off then possibly take it to have them put on again so i know they are sitting right. the car hs 26,800 miles on it for those who asked. My fron tiresare more worn than my rear ones but they are worn on the insides more due to tire pressure that I fixed a long time ago. I have changed my steering wheel and airbag a while back but im sure it was mounted on correctly ( although it seems a little off 12 o clock). Its not wheel bearing cuz a porsche tech looked at it, and its not suspension. I was told last time it may be due to the characteristics of my tires.

as soon as my digital camera works again you will see some nice pics I promise

I developed this problem recently. I had the tires rebalanced and found out my passenger front wheel is out of round. I'll look for a replacement front set.
