Could still be a wheel/tire issue, or..

It's conceivable that your inner drivers are worn, but this problem will usually manifest itself at many more speeds than your 75-85 range. And, it isn't usually affected by turning.
Have you had the tires rotated front to back, and if so, was there any change? A tire/wheel could be out of round. I've had wheel problems that made themselves known only under acceleration, and only at certain speeds, so don't rule out this avenue just yet.
I would also check the torque on your axle nuts.
Also, jack up each front wheel and see if you can wobble it back and forth on the hub. If there is any play in the wheel, either you have a loose axle nut, or the bearing/hub needs to be replaced.
How are all your ball joints and suspension bushings up front?
More things to check, good luck!
