Ok so everytime i am going faster than 20mph i get a slight shake in my steering wheel. Like as if the front wheels are going left/right super super fast in a straight line, kinda. lol
As the speed increases the speed of the slight shake increases. I mean it's not enough to make me crash, but it's really annoying, its almost like the steering wheel is vibrating.
What could this be from? I have no clue so I turn to you guys. :)
FCA or bushings, unbalanced wheels or warped rotors. Does it shake more under braking?

First thing I thought was unbalanced wheel.tire assembly in the front. There are other causes, but this is very common.

In addition to whats been posted above, when is the last time you got an alignment?

Get the wheels balanced first....
When you take it for the balance get all 4 done, more cost effective than doing front 2 then coming back to do rear 2. When you drop it off tell them to check the surface of the tires as they balance (depending on machine used) to see if the tread moves left to right and tell them to check the roundness of the wheel while it's being rotated. Sounds exactly like a bad tire or unbalanced wheel.

yea it doesn't have warp rotors, i'm sure of that. it probably just needs an alignment, because it does kinda pull to the left. any tips on where to get the alignment?
