That could be your problem. How's the alignment? Are your wheels correctly balanced?

Check your rack bushings. Have a friend turn the wheel and see if the rack moves. Normally when your at the point your at now you can actually see where the rack has been moving back and forth.

This

Check to make sure all lugs are tight, Balance Wheels, Alignment, check TIRES....
Check steering rack and make sure it is bolted tight and check bushings.
Check Tie Rods , Wheel bearings..... Those are top culprits to weird steering problems.

Thats nearly all the suspension in the front haha. Normally know if its tire balance because its not a constant vibration. It will come and go within a noticeable rpm range.

+1 for rack bushings/tie rods/alignment.

Check outer tie rods first. That's the most probable cause.
