Correct me if I'm wrong, or if have drawn to much from the movies as I have lost my (digital) copy of the trilogi, and the Silmarillon.

Gandalf says something like (and I'm pretty sure I'm qutoing, incorrectly, the movies here) "Sauron would rather raise Minas Tirith than see a king upon its throne." And Aragorn uses the palantiri to lure Sauron into attacking Minas Tirith before he is ready.

But what does Saouron fear? That Aragon has the ring? (as Aragorn is using the same palantiri as Pippin, who Sauron suspects have the ring).
Or that Gondor can withstand Mordor if they are but lead by a king?
Or that Aragorn will unite Gondor, Rohan and the remains of Arnor?
Or that he will unite all the enemies of Mordor, elves, dwarfs, men of dale and so on?
