Steering Wheel Shimmy

Steering Wheel Shimmy
Hello. My steering wheel has developed a shimmy and I don't know where it's coming from. I did a search, but all the ones I saw dealt with higher speeds. My steering wheel moves back and forth at lower speeds primarily. Like less than 20mph. I made a video of it, and I'll try to get it uploaded shortly. Any idea what that movement is?

Could also be a shifted steel belt inside the tire itself. Happened to me before. Tire had to be replaced.
I'd start by having the wheels balanced - then go with the above recommendation of tie rod ends, etc.

I haven't had an alignment done, and my tires are kind of worn. I'll try having the wheels aligned and balanced when I get new tires. And if that doesn't work, I'll explore the tie rods. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
