Yes I noticed it in the steering wheel. Today I paid attention and it
gradually starts at about 35 and increases to about 3/8" of wheel turn
in the steering wheel. It's not bad yet, but I had noticed a slight
wobble for a while. I went down a dirt road, only 300ft,(I was actually
looking at a notch!) and that is when it started how it is now.

I don't think gear matters, just speed. I guess I had just assumed that
it wasn't balance cause the wheels have'nt ever given me a prob. With
talk of shakes and alignment in past couple months, I guess that's what
popped in my head. 

I won't be able to check it out more till this weekend.
