  A similar thing happened to me when I missed a corner
in the Corolla I was just posting about, back in the 80s.

  It turned out to be a snapped steering rack, beleive it
or not.

  I drove it for at least 3-4 months like that, without
being able to find the problem. The symptom was that
one certain radius of turn, of which there was one on
my way home from school, would cause one wheel
to oscillate and the whole car would tremble.

  It was such a minor inconvenience on the road, I never
really panicked, I just kept driving it and every now
and then would think "jeez I really would like to know
what that wobble is, oh well".

  Other than that corner, it drove just fine, I guess
I was steering with one wheel and the other was
freewheeling.

  Check the steering linkage.
