Hello,
The vibration could be caused worn bushing on the control arms.
Over time the rubber bushings on the control arm becomes brittle and they can deteriorate. When that happens the suspension creates the vibration you feel through the steering wheel.
Replacing the control arm you will have to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
You will need basic hand tools to get the control arm removed.
If you are only to change the bushings, you will need to have few specialty tools (see diagram).

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
