Is it the stock or aftermarket steering wheel? I have a Grant Racing wheel and there is a bolt that holds it on with the nut on the other side. I just got mine fixed today and all it was was that the nut was coming loose on the bolt. There are also some bearings in there that can go out, or the end of the steering column. Check those before spending any money by takin git to the shop.

It's probably something minor like a tire out of balance. Mine sits for weeks at a time sometimes because it's not my daily. The tires flatspot and give me a shake until they warm up and go back to being round completely.

You may have also lost a wheel weight. You could also try checking air pressure in your tires. It could be few things.

if the car sits for a while you will get flat spots on the tires. or you could have a bent rim!!!

Mine had a shake that started at 60 and got worse the faster you went.I finaly found that the rear wheels lost some wheel weights.had them rebalanced and the shake went away.How this helps.

Mine was similar. My driver side Rear was 6 oz off. So up 80mph it was ok, once I hit 81+ & let off, the wheel shook. Had them broke down, rotated 180 degrees on the wheels, then re-balanced. Pretty good now, but tires are getting worn out now. So need to order new ones. but pricey this time of year.
