Default 1993 Volvo 240 RH wheel shake and shimmy

Hi all, I'm as green as the grass here so let me shoot one out to you guys. I have a 1993 Volvo 240. I have a RH front wheel shimmy that is confusing me. I've changed inner and outer tie rod ends and no change. Could it be the steering rack? If so why is one side shaking so violently and not the other. I know that is at the long side of the rack but over 50 it feels like the RH wheel is going to shimmy off.
I do have orig struts (129k) which I'll change with control arm bushings. Could it be a wheel? I'm at a bit of a loss and getting afraid to dive it. I'll have to ge[ul]t my other swede out of the garage to replace it..

Could be a bent rim or a bad tire.
