If your tires are in good shape, it's probably just tire balance. Low speed wobbles and shakes are normally bad tires, tread separations, just FYI.
If it happens when you are driving fast (60-70 MPH) it could be that your wheels are out of alignment.
You should be 'gripping the steering wheel firmly ' at all times while driving. Things can happen so fast at speed, by the time your thought process has turned into actually gripping firmly, chances are it's already too late.
Tire out of balance, worn suspension parts, defective or loose wheel bearing, loose lug-nuts, or worn steering parts.

You can adjust the steering box some. Or possible ball joint problems. If the problem is lurches and surges in the steering (can feel like loose idler arm, loose ball joints, etc.), one common cause is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle) tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel.

Heavy electrical load and a badly worn and or loose belt that is slipping! There is a steering position sensor at the base of the steering column that tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel. When it gets faulty, there will be lurches and surges in the steering. Easy to replace, costs about $60 from GM.
Not necessarily. Driving is much more complex than such a hard-and-fast rule.
There are 4 bolts at the bottom of the steering column that tend to get loose after entering and exiting your vehicle. Pulling your self up on the steering wheel puts stress the steering column and causes it to become loose. If you do not correct the problem fast by tightening the bolts you will have to replace the entire steering column.. -Henry's locksmith and steering column repair
when acceletaring a vehicle, it is the persons decision to go fast because the car does not go fast on its own, the person behing the wheel has the control of the car.
