Take the car in for wheel balancing and wheel alignment.

Well from my experience it could be a list of things. let me take it form the top

1. You could need to get your wheels balanced

2. You could need new tires.

3. Your swaybar could be damaged or loose

4. Your car could be out of alignment.

Those are the most likely problems. It is probably either 1, 2, or 4. I have also seen this happen with a car that had a cracked frame. It probably isnt the frame but it is possible. Check the tread and tire pressure on your tires. The pressure should be about 35 in each. You should not see any wire showing in your tread and the thicker the better.

If you cant find the problem, your best bet is to go to a front end and alignment shop. The odds are it wont be hugely expensive as compared to engine or transmission problem. Good Luck, and good day.

This happened to me before too and I took it to a shop and they balanced and rotated my tires and fixed my alignment. It doesn't cost that much to get done.

Get tires inspected

Get wheels balanced and aligned.

Have brakes/rotors checked.

Sounds like a bad tire, as the other post stated, have a shop check the tires soon!
