Default front end shimmey

I have 2001 v70 running Nitto 235/45r17 tire. Had front struts replaced.
About 15000 miles later noticed a strong vibration in front end that does not come up to the stearing wheel but can be felt in the gas pedal and passenger compartment. this vibration gets noticeably worse when stepping on the accelerator then goes away when coasting. Any ideas?

Not really but you may want to check motor mounts.
