This sounds like my problem. Manifested in my case as steering wheel shimmy at 55-65 mph. This only occurs when one particular wheel (tire & rim) is on the front end.
Your testing technique sounds promising, but I don't own a floor jack or jackstands. And the auto skills center at Nellis AFB is inaccessible to me (due to the base's Covid-related access restrictions). If I could get out there, I could put the vehicle on a lift.
I think tomorrow morning I'll look for a tire or other shop that will check it for me (while I watch like a hawk). Interesting that DT never suggested doing such a thing. Even though it might give them the chance to sell me a new rim.
