- This is the most common reason for a steering wheel to shake at highway speeds. When your wheels are out of balance, it can cause the tires to bounce and vibrate, which in turn causes the steering wheel to shake.
- Wheel alignment issues also affect the steering wheel shake, as the wheels are not at the correct angle, causing vibrations.
Worn or damaged suspension components
- Worn or damaged suspension components, such as control arms, ball joints, or tie rods, can also cause a vibration in the steering wheel.
Bent or damaged wheel rim
- A bent or damaged rim can also cause a vibration in the steering wheel. This is because the rim is no longer perfectly round, which throws off the balance of the wheel.
Tire Tread Wear
- If the tread on your tires is uneven or worn down, it can cause a vibration in the steering wheel. This is because the uneven tread creates an imbalance in the tire, which causes it to bounce and vibrate.
