Have you had your tires balanced?

I have that same problem. Except I haven't bled the brakes yet. Try that.

Everybody has pretty much covered the 1st thing to check, wheel balance. It is also possible you have a bent rim, a broken belt in a tire or a tie rod end going bad. Haven't had my 1st cup of coffee yet so I'll stop there. Better get it checked out soon. That broken belt or bad tie rod end could cause you to lose control if they get worse.

Rotate the tires and see if it changes. If it does, its one of the rear tires or wheels. If it doesn't, it could be an axle, bearing or even transmission. Good luck.
