Default pedal jiggle?

ok so for a few days now ive been feeling this jiggle, well its more of a "knocking feeling" in my acceleration pedal. i havnt gotten down exactly when it happens but what i have noticed so far when it happens i feel it in the steering wheel at the same time and usually euther going over a bump or when i SLIGHTLY turn the steering wheel to the left or right.. anyone wanna chime in on what this might be

Search on Steering Clunk, that'll give you a few hundred pages of light reading on the steering shaft...
