My steering wheel has begun noticeably vibrating at cruising speeds. What could the problem be? Tires are pretty new, less than 3000 miles on them so balance shouldn't be a issue. There is no noticeable problem when braking so it's not the rotors. Any other suggestions where I should look? Thanks.

try getting the tires rebalanced. i threw a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on my moms grand marquis and the next time i changed the oil i balanced the tires i had to make some changes. also, make sure that whoever balances teh tires uses a road force balancer. they make a world of difference.

Like already said, re - balance. You may have had a wheel weight come off. Or just a crappy job balancing them the first time. Either that or loose lug nuts.

I agree with that and also you haven't locked up your brakes lately have you? If so you might have flat spotted your tire/s. A flat spotted tire really shows it self at cruising speed.

check your rotors when you take the wheels off to balance them. have a runout and flatness check done on them just to be sure.
