Hi:
I would start by checking the steering components. Chances are either you have bad ball joints, tie rods, or a bad wheel bearing. It could even have to do with the alignment. Is there any noise associated with this experience?

We need more information so we don't have to guess from a list of easy possibilities.
How do you know it's coming from the right side? Can you see something wobble? If so, look for a bent wheel or tire with a broken belt.
Does the steering wheel shake, but you don't see anything wobble? Suspect a worn inner cv joint housing.
Do you feel it in the seat but not the steering wheel? Broken belt in a rear tire.
When do you feel it? Under load, coasting, turning, low speeds, all speeds, etc.
Do you feel it only at highway speeds? Tire out of balance. Ice, snow, or mud built up in the center of a wheel.
What does the tire wear look like? If they're choppy, look for a cracked front crossmember.
