Steering wheel shudders?

I just had a question about my 97 avalon that I just got, the steering wheel kind of shake when you go slow and that is fine when you are cruising. I didnt know if anyone knew what this could be?

Might be warped brake rotors, does the steering wheel shake more when you brake? Or can you feel a pulsing in the brake pedal as you brake?

Can also be an out of round tire, a tire that is damaged, has uneven wear or bent rim.

Rotate the front tires when they are off the ground, look to see if they wobble, the tread or tire is damaged, etc. Listen for the pads engaging a warped rotor as both wheel and rotor turn.

Swap front and rear tires or rotate in the spare tire to a front tire, one side at a time. See if this solves the problem.
