Front end vibration - 90% fixed

I had an annoying vibration in the steering of my '96 900SET which seemed to get progressively worse over the last year. I tried increasing the tire pressure and having the wheels rotated, but I wasn't able to significantly change the amount of vibration.
After searching through the archives, it was hard to find any follow up success stories based on the suggestions given. I decided to try to get the wheels balanced by the Hunter 9700 balancer. There is a performance shop in my area which had one and did the balancing for $120 for the four wheels. One wheel required the "Road Force" balancing and took a bunch of weight to balance. The proprieter said that he gets a lot of referals from tires which are mounted and balanced at discount tire places which he claimes are hit or miss in balancing quality.
After driving it for two weeks, it seems like 90% of the vibration is gone. Unexpectedly, even the strange vibration that seemed to depend on engine load is basically gone. The steering doesn't feel like a Camry, but then again it probably shouldn't.
Hope this helps.
