First suspect would be a slight tire separation that is hard to see. Go from there if not...

Death wobble can pretty violent. I don't see where you mentioned a steering stabalizer, maybe it is starting to go, or a trac bar. But kinda thinking you might not be experiencing a death wobble.

Unless it happens w/o braking I'm going with WC. Slightly warped rotors.
