check the wheel balancing.

my mother (yes... she liked my 6sp boxster so got a tiptronic one) had a similar problem, but fairly new tyres (conti's) took it down had the wheels balanced again problem solved.



the stick on weights can drop off, especially if there is a build up of dust and it hasnt been cleaned properly before adhesion.

Wheels were just balanced as I stated in the original post. It has to be a failing part as an out of balance wheel wouldn't cause large amounts of bump steer.

I would look at the struts or a bushing going out on a control arm. You never said what year your Boxster is and how many miles it has on it.
