When the car is on idle the rpm drops down to around 800. Then the steering wheel starts to shake a little, not much, but just enoght to be annoying.
Also I can feel the interior shake a little bit too, almost like it wants to stall but it's not as noticable as the steering wheel. Pretty much like releasing the clutch just a little without giving any gas.

What could cause that?

I thought of maybe a bushing somewhere in the steeering parts?

sounds like your car just needs a tune up.

when your car idles low your engine vibration increases. So clean your throttle body and idle air control valve with some deep creep. this will make your car idle smoother.

Deep creep? What's a safe way to clean the TB? And which valve is the IAC?
