Hi Steve - I have no real knowledge of that model and whether it has a steering damper?

 I know on my Landrover when this happened it turned out to be the damper had leaked its oil out? Other likely causes are tyres - try swapping front to back? and if you have play in the swivel / kingpin area? any slack in steering joints trackrods etc will make it worse?

 I have had in in a few vehicles (and bikes = tankslapper) and it is truly terrifying!

 Get underneath whilst a mate wobbles the steering and look for slack? Do the easy bit first and try swapping tyres front to back. I usually have it after hitting a bump or pothole, which usually points to slack somewhere? Good luck! Phil.
