1993 Ford Taurus SHO Power Steering Problem?

Hello everyone. I have a 1993 Ford Taurus SHO that I just bought today for very cheap. This car has 133,000 miles on it and has the V6 engine.
Okay, now for the problem. Whenever I drive the car (at whatever the speed) the steering wheel will shake left and right. This does not make the car jerk, but just the steering wheel. I am new to working with cars, so any help would be awesome.
Thank you,
Kyle

You need to get the tires and wheels inspected and balanced. You could have a broken steel belt in the tire, a bent wheel or a balance problem.

so, is this a problem with the power steering? it is the steering wheel that is jerking, not the wheels.
is it hard to check what you said above by myself? or would i have to bring it into a shop?
thanks,
kyle

It could be. You don't even know what the problem is yet. You could have a tire ready to blow or a wheel ready to come off. It needs to be checked ASAP.
