I still don't really understand what's going on here... Does the steering wheel shake while driving when cold? Orrrrr?

Yeah that's weird it's only happening when cold. When's the last time you checked/changed your PS fluid or greased all your tie rods? I'd start with the simple stuff, check all the steering linkage for play and if you don't find anything obviously bad give everything some fresh grease, maybe change your PS fluid if it's looking dirty. Do you get any noise from the PS pump like groaning or the belt squealing?
