Boy that sux... but there's probably lots of 89 steering wheels in a
junkyard near you.

not too hard to replace, get a haynes book.

Seriously... you are evidently a novice driver or never had an older car.

Does this happen at lower speeds and get worse as you go faster? Then
front end shakes, too..

If so, 99% likely bad tire (s), to verify, swap front to back.

If only 55-65 then declines as you go faster... need balancing.

if only when you brake, bad rotors

Are you saying it shakes while driving or is the steering wheel loose?
