Welcome to the Corvette Forum !

Check the wheels. Perhaps someone has hit a curb and bent the aluminum wheel making it run out of round (wobble). You can start by following in back of the car to see if you can observe any anomalies. OR, any competent tire shop can check for a wheel out of round condition. Let us know what you discover.
