I was driving down the interstate at 60 miles an hour and my steering wheel starts to have a small jerk on the right side it doesn’t want to jerk out of my hands but it’s a small jerk I’m not sure what it is

The first guess is that you lost a wheel balance . If you are due for a tire rotation and balance try that and have the shop look under your vehicle at the same time.

It could also be a tread starting to separate, or a broken belt. If you go for a re-balance, they should also check,for those possibilities when each wheel is on,
