Steering Wheel Shudder

Hey guys,

I've noticed that when turning at speeds over 30-35 km/h, the steering shudders. I searched the forums and someone suggested changing the front wheel bearings, but I had those changed just over a month ago.
Is there anything else that could be causing this?

Bad tie rods- inner or outer- or deteriorated steering rack bushings.
Bad ball joints.
Bad a-arm bushes.

Maybe a simple as the bearings loosening up and needing another look.

Balance your damn tires first. Jeez. While it's in the shop, get the steering/suspension checked for freeplay.

If you have power steering, check the belt and the fluid in the reservoir.

I can't find the power steering fluid reservoir for the life of me...is there a diagram somewhere that shows where it is?

If you have it, the pump/reservoir should be in the area shown on the attached image.

Run your hands across tire tread to feel for choppiness and shifted belts

That has absolutely nothing to do with a steering vibration.
