I'm not a mechanic, but experience of the problem took me to the garage, where it was diagnosed as the Tracking being out. Also incorrectly inflated or damaged tyres can cause the problem. Hope this helps.

What causes the steering wheel to shake back and forth when car is idling?
Your power steering pump and or steering box may be about to give out on you.
Do inner tie rods cause shaking of the steering wheel if they are bad?
If any part on the front end were real bad, it could possibly cause a shake. I would take your car into the tire shop and have them check for.......separated tires, bent wheels, or out of round tires. Low speed shakes are normally tires that a coming apart from the inside out. Higher speed shakes are normally just tire balancing or out of round tires. Shake in the wheel indicates FRONT tires, shake in the seat normally indicates REAR. I have seen cases where a rear tire was separated and caused the steering wheel to shake on some cars as well. Have all four tires checked to save you time and give peace of mind. True fact: separated tires will get a divorce soon!

How do you remove 1997 Seville steering wheel?
AIRBAG WARNING: Before you remove any steering wheel parts on an airbag equipped car it is important that you disconnect the negative battery cable to disable the airbag system. A loose airbag deploying directly in your face can cause serious injury, and could possibly kill you DEAD.Having said that, I'm not sure exactly the procedure on a Seville, but I'll give you a basic run down of how to take off most steering wheels.1)Disconnect negative battery cable2)Determine how airbag module is attached to steering wheel. The airbag module is in the front center of the steering wheel and is the part of the steering wheel you see. It likely has a vehicle emblem right on it. There may be plastic covers on the side or back of steering wheel that hide airbag retainer nuts. Some airbag modules are simply held in by clips and can be pulled out. Once you determine how the airbag is fastened remove it from the steering wheel. There will be an electrical connector to the airbag (usually yellow). Carefully disconnect electrical connector and set airbag aside.2)Disconnect horn wire, and any other electrical wires used inside the steering wheel. There should be connectors for all wires.3)NOTE:ENSURE STEERING WHEEL IS POINTED STRAIGHT AHEAD PRIOR TO REMOVAL. At this stage you should have access to the steering wheel nut. Remove the steering wheel nut.Some steering wheels will simply come off at this stage. However most wheels must be pressed off. Use a steering wheel puller to pull wheel. A puller set can be rented at most auto parts stores if you don't have one.4)CLOCKSPRING WARNING:Behind the steering wheel there is a component known as a clockspring. It houses the wires for the airbag and other steering wheel electronics. It allows the steering wheel to spin and maintain electrical connections. It is important that the clockspring or wheels are not turned while the steering wheel is out. If the clockspring is turned too many times over it will break causing steering wheel electronics not to work(and an expensive repair). It must remain centered at all times.

How do you replace steering wheel off of a T600 Kenworth?
Depending on the model year, there'll be something covering the center of the steering wheel... could be a round horn switch, could be a larger plastic covering which also functions as a horn switch... it varies quite a bit, as the T600 was in production from 1986 through 2007. Once you've got that removed, you remove the steering wheel nut. Don't remember what size socket you need off the top of my head. From there, you take a steering wheel puller, run bolts through the small holes of the steering wheel and the puller (3/8" standard thread, IIRC), run the big bolt through the center of the puller and make sure it's lined up with the steering column, turn it clockwise, and it'll pull the steering wheel off. If you don't have a puller, a deadblow hammer can often get the steering wheel off... don't buy the Snap-On one, though - not worth it - get the $11 one from Harbor Freight. Once that nut is removed, give some good strikes in an upwards motion to the bottom of the steering wheel.
How much to fix it the shaky wheel?
From my experience with this problem it isn't the steering wheel that is shaking but your U joints could be bad or something else under the car. Get it to a mechanic. Can't give a cost for this.
Why did original American cars have right-hand drive?
They didn't. In the very early days of the automobile the steering wheel was located in the center in most instances. Some manufactures did place the steering wheel on the right so that drivers would not hit curbs, bushes, or other obstacles. Other manufactures place the steering wheel on the left to give the driver the best view of the road ahead. Very quickly the steering wheel was placed on the left and by the time mass produced autos like the Model T Ford were being produced in the early 1900s that was the norm.
How do you use the cruise control for a 1995 Honda Passport?
There's a knob-like switch on the right-hand side of the steering wheel (by the windshield wiper switch) that says Cruise. Start driving, and when you reach the speed you want to maintain, switch that over to Cruise and it will just hold that speed for you. Use "cancel" and/or the brakes to give yourself control again.
