Name that rumble...

My '93 CDE (turbo, auto, 164k)has a rumble and I wonder if it might be common to these cars. I have a couple of ideas about what it could be but I'll save my guess so as not to sway any opinions.
Here are the clues:
The intensity of rumble comes and goes.
You can feel it in the steering wheel and a little in the floor boards.
It's always there but is almost un-noticeable below 45MPH.
It really gets going around 75 to 80 MPH
Acceleration and deceleration do NOT have much affect on the rumble.
The frequency is at wheel speed.
It is NOT tire or wheel related. It does not change with summer/winter wheels.
The intensity changes slightly depending on what side of the road crown I'm on.
There is no clicking in the axles on sharp turns.
The front struts, ball joints, and rear lower control arm bushings are new.
So what's your guess? I don't want to throw money at this problem so any advise based on experience would be greatly appretiated.
Thanks in advance
Garret
Steering wheel vibrates sometimes but not always.
