Default Mk6 Escort ,Steetring Wheel Movement

Right..

Ive got a bit of a problem peeps. If I am travelling down the motorway for instance.. basically any speed above 50 mph..

I have a problem with my steering wheel by which it vibrates from side to side in small amounts.. like its turning ever so slightly each direction repeatadly.. the car itself doesnt swerve anywhere or move.. but the steering wheel does

Now I have had my wheels balanced and this hasnt changed the situation. I looked at my lower arms and they are fine. What else could it be?

A friend suggested I checked the driveshafts to check their still balanced as apparently the driver side is weighted...

What do u reckon?

Cheers
