    1994 Grand Caravan, 3.3 liter.

    At about 40MPH, I experience a stong shaking or wobble in the Caravan. I do
    not feel it in the steering wheel. The tires are new and balanced. My guess
    is a possibile Bent Wheel or Bent Axle. But perhaps someone else has
    experience with this?

    Ant advise is welcome.

    This is consistent with a worn inner CV joint on one of the axles. A worn
    CV joint will not rotate inline with the axle at certain speed ranges and
    will cause a real shake.

    If it takes place between 40mph and 65mph, and it's worse under
    acceleration, or going up a hill, then it's probably an inside CV joint.

    I would agree with the others.
    I have had the same issue in the past and replacing the CV joint fixed it.

    Just went through this. It was the shorter of the 2 axles that was bad.
