Well you have eliminated a wheel fault as you have tried the spare. I agree with Matt & would start looking at bushes providing you can definatly rule out a wheel bearing. is it a wobble or more of a "shimmy" ( side to side with each revolution of the wheel which dissapears around 40mph) ?. Possible that you might have a warped brake disc also. Keep us posted

yeah mate, these can go soft, normal sign of a failing one is creaking over bumps or when the front is pushed down
