heres a write up I found on net.
Steering wheel vibrates:
At about 45 to 60 miles per hour the steering wheel begins to vibrate. You also notice that the car is also vibrating or twitching. This can be very dangerous. If you notice the problem only occurs when you step on the brakes, it will make diagnosis simpler.
Possible causes:
Warped or damaged brake rotors and/or drums: Resurface or replace brake rotors and/or drums as required.
Loose wheel lug nuts: Tighten wheel lug nuts. (checked)
Out-of-balance wheel and tire assemblies: Balance wheels. (had checked 3 times)
Parts of the steering linkage are loose and need to be tightened: Tighten or replace loose parts as required.
Bent or damaged wheels: Replace bent or damaged wheels. (PART OF BALANCE)
