How's your cap, rotor, and coil doing? These are also somethings to look at. These are somethings to look at when the idle is jumping a little bit. Just for the wheel shaking I would suggest looking at the engine mounts real close making sure all the bushings are in good shape.

sounds like motor mounts, if rpm's are steady it doesn't sound like a performance issue, i would think the vibe is feeding back through the steering wheel and or suspension

Check your mounts to see if theyre torn. Specifically the lower torque mounts.

i have the same issue with vibration in the steering column. Sometimes the vibration moves from the column to the cabin. Are mounts easy to fix as a DIY or how much would it cost for me to get someone to do it for me??? Suggestions?
