Struts Shot? Something else?

During acceleration, soft, medium or hard, I get a side to side tugging of the steering wheel. It's not much, maybe an inch back and forth, but it's rather new. Also, at steady cruising, above 75 mph or so, the car wants to wander back and forth. Literally, back and forth, it will stay in the lane, but it pulls back and forth. At my last tire rotation, my tires were not wearing evenly. Years ago, my 4Runner was doing something similar with worn struts, so that's what I am leaning towards, but before I replace the struts, is there anything else I should be looking at? Could it be something with the driveline? Thanks, jb

x2 for alignment-- OP Jovinki should get a four wheel alignment so the toe can be adjusted (caster and camber are not adjustable).
