steering wheel shake

I got steering wheel shake like a ****. It wants to throw me out the window at around 35 miles an hour. What do you think the problem mostlikely is. Tierod, mis allignment? I am thinking about redoing the whole front end but I dont know what brand would be best for drag/some street applictions. Anyone with any comments, please post.

At that slow of a speed, my first guess is bad tire/bent wheel/loose wheel.

as in bad tire the tire itself or the wheel bearings, because after inspecting it just now it rattles a bit when i shake the tire of jacks. -

the tire itself,
if you run your hand along the tread of the tire (in the air), you may need to slowly rotate the wheel, you should feel a spot where the tread goes all wierd(not flat), across the tread (side to side , from the inside to the outside)will be a high spot and a lot spot,
I'd almost bet this is your problem
