I would inspect steering and suspension parts first. 2 person job to do it right. Have the misses turn wheel back and forth while you look at the moving steering parts for slop/loosness, wheels on ground. You'll see most obvious slop when wheel turner changes direction of wheel. Flash light on joints helps.
Good time to check motor and tranny mounts. You could put it on jack stands and rev motor in park and see if something is obvious.
New school method a buddy used on his truck was to attach his Go Pro aimed at various parts, worked for him.
Odd that it coasts without a pull ?

Check out this link. Seems right up your alley. Rear parts make more sense than my response.
