Shock/Struts gone bad??

I have an 93 se with 156k miles. I have noticed here lately that since it has gotten cold my wheels when I first start driving, after the car has been sitting a little while, seem like they almost are bouncing. My steering wheel will vibrate and sort of rotate a 1/4" during the vibration. Normally, I would think the tires are out of balance, but have had that checked. After driving a few minutes the vibration will leave and the wheel will be smooth. Speed generally does not make a difference and one time at 70mph it might vibrate a little and the next it won't. I have never replaced the shocks/struts on the car. Could this be the problem? Also, I haven't checked, but does the se have all struts or struts in the front and shocks in the back? Any help would be appreciated.
