Steering wheel shake on bumps?

Just curious if any of you experience steering wheel vibration over bumps. It's as though the steering column is shaking because something is loose. I have noticed this since the car was new and I was just wondering if this is simply an "unwanted feature" of the stiff suspension and bushings? Probably nothing I can do...just seems odd.
Are you guys experiencing the same (especially over rr tracks and similar bumps)??

I'd expect some vibrations to come through. Your best bet might be to have another Evo driver take your car on a test driver over said train tracks.

I don't know if the Evo has one, but I had a bad steering damper (dampener) on a car once. It was more than a vibration though. The steering wheel would go left and right when I hit a bump.
