Default Intermittent wheel wobble???

Guys is there anything you can think of that would give my 99 V reg 2.0L zetec intermittent wheel wobble?
It doesnt occur at any particular speed , it does have a kinda droaning noise and feels like i have square wheels! and then suddenly everything calms down again and goes back to normal?
The discs and pads have recently been changed im using F1 tyres all round which are all in good condition - about half worn.

It all seems a bit weird so any suggestions would be greatfully recieved.

Many thanks

Sounds a little familiar - worth a read at least...

On further inspection today it turns out the driverside caliper was starting to seize up , but now it definately has! So that was replaced and so was the rubber brake pipe, apparently the rubber pipes can collapse inside.
All seems to running fine and smooth again..... for now anyway!
Not bad for 202k miles!
