Yeah. Very similar to the shaking you get when you brake with warped rotors but it's not during breaking. Just normal cruise control driving. I dunno maybe I'm crazy but def seemed as if my steering wheel was having a seizure. Lasted for about 30 seconds and stopped and started a little later and stopped. That was about it. The only thing I can think of is a possible pump or accessory belt problem

Feedback as in my steering wheel will randomly violently shake left and right. Not enough to affect the direction of travel but enough where if I grip it with all my might it will still give my hands a good shaking. But it's random.

also check wheel balance. one badly balanced rim/wheel can shake you around pretty badly at only certain speeds.

omg, green goo is the worse crap ever made. i'm about 99.9% sure that its the problem. take it to the hobby shop, take off the tire, clean the WHOLE thing, plug the hole from the back, and remount it.
