wierd steering problems

ok this just started happening recently, i think after my roadtrip to NYC. pretty much when i go over 70 or so, the steering wheel starts shaking. at first i thought one of the front tires might be loose or something, but no i double checked and they're all on there tight. all tires at 30-32 psi, and nothing is really different from before this started happening. any ideas what it might be? oh and by steering "shaking" i mean it just kinda rattles back and forth and the car doesn't seem to respond as well as it did before at those speeds. and it seems more jittery going into turns.

DId you run over anything significant? Sounds like either tires are out of balance or a bent rim..but thats if you ran over something.

i dont believe i've hit or run over anything large. just speed bumps which i usually don't take too fast. and i don't even have rims, my steelies appear to be in good shape, guess i'll just get the tires balanced and hope it'll solve things.
