Lower speed steering wheel oscillations are usually caused by either a bent tire rim or a "slipped belt" inside one of the tires. A slipped belt is an indication that the tire is about to fail. It's a very unsafe condition, especially if you spend much time on the freeway. Lift the front end, spin the tires slowly and watch both the rim and the tire. If the rim is turning "true", carefully watch the tread of the tire. A LITTLE (1/4 inch or less) deviation of the tread is ok as the tire turns, but if it's out of round much more than that, you'll feel it.

The effect is abscent below 30, noticable at 50, and violent at 70. i had that problem with my civic it was the wheel barring
