    i have just recently got the same problem with my steering wheel, the vibration came just after i put some 18s on so i will be interested to know what the problem is, whether its the balance of the wheels or alignment

    check the power steering rack. hold the rack up and if any/both inner tierod ends are floppy, their broken and need replacing.
