Thanks!

Just a thought,
Our Volvo started doing that a while back. The steering wheel felt like machine gun Charlie after 60 mph. Turns out that one of the little weights they use to balance the wheels had come off one wheel. Re-balanced and it smoothed out.

Edit: I also hit a nasty pot hole once and started getting a similar issue. Turns out that the impact had snapped one of the steel belts in the tire and was causing a bulge to develop causing a slight "thump, thump" noise and vibration. Where I live the roads are pretty nasty.
