I have a vibration in my steering wheel that occurs at highway speeds. It gets worse or more prominent when the road is sloped down to the left. I have not checked the opposite sloping direction. On normal flat surfaces it vibrates but not as prominently.

Anyone have any ideas on what this might be? I have already replaced the drivers side tie rod end and I also had to re-lubricate the cv joint on the inside passenger side, the boot clip that was holding the boot in place was missing.

Go to a shop and get the car aligned and balance the tires.
That should help.

By any chance would you know your afr's?
To me it sounds as if the car is running rich, hence the hesitation and I say this because mine did the same thing.

Check your coolant and your air temp sensors. When I changed mine, it helped tremendously.

I don't have any hesitation in the car just vibration in the steering wheel at speed and most noticeable at the higher speeds. I do not know what the afr's are, But everything in the engine bay is stock with the exception of a K&N Air filter.

Just want to update this for the record. The vibration was caused by a bad passenger side CV axle shaft bearing. I removed the CV axle today and noticed a lot of play in the support bearing for the shaft. After replacing the CV axle vibration is gone. All is good now. Thanks for the assistance!
