Default hub issue?

Strange one.

i have a wobbl problem on front left wheel at 90kph. have had OUTER wear on tyre, car constantly pulling to left

i have read everything i can find and have done thusfar
-jack up said wheel and manhandled to check for movement - no dice
-small amount of lateral pitman arm movement i believe to be CAUSED by the shaking over time from this front left wheel.
-ball joints rock solid
-toe in even (0)
-axle does NOT appear to be bent (using a really straight board to check).

hasn't bothered me as until now i live close to home (mostly 60kph) but am moving to a place which will require me to to do 40 minutes each way at 90kph and i don't think i can stomache it.

can the hub unit do this? there is NO grinding or noise (i do have a spare hub btw but don't want to change if i don't have too).
