balance your wheels? check all bushings on control arms? tie rods nice and snug? etc.... literally Google up reasons for shaking steering wheel and go down the list till you get to the cause.

I used to get a weird vibration at certain speeds too

it's mostly likely worn out bushings or suspension components, just gotta inspect everything and try and pin point it

Mine shakes a bit sometimes over rough pavement as well. I just picked it up and need to get it on jack stands and peep everything

Had the same issue - a VIOLENT shaking of the steering wheel after certain speeds. Changed all bushings, alignment, adjusted coils - the works... pulled off the alignment rack.. same thing! Turns out my dumb ass just had low tire pressures! Filled them up to proper PSI and poof! Problem gone
