Steering wheel shaking at low and high speeds...

I am figuring the tires need to be balanced. I thought that this was only the case if the wheel shook at high speeds.
When I am getting on the highway ramp (for example) maybe going 20 or so and taking a soft turn, I feel the wheel pulse a little bit and I know that is not normal.

Is this just a balance? I have spent ALOT of money fixing this gem up, I don't want to keep spending if it won't fix the issue.

Lastly - probably not related, but for good measure: I will be replacing the brake pads soon...is it ok to balance first then do the brakes? I really don't think it matters in either order, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks
Nick

Would this "cleaning" help with the brake squeaking?
I think you helped in another thread and it was determined that my pads were cheap from the mechanic, hence the squeeling....something still squeaks lightly while there is no brake being applied and IDK where to start on that one. Maybe a cleaning will cure that? The pads will still be replaced.

Thanks
