Bent or damaged wheel rim: A pothole can cause the rim of your wheel to bend or become damaged, which can lead to vibrations and shaking in the steering wheel.
Damaged tire: A pothole can also damage the tire, causing bulges or sidewall damage. This can lead to imbalance and shaking in the steering wheel.
Misalignment: Hitting a pothole can also knock your car's alignment out of whack, which can lead to shaking in the steering wheel.
Damaged steering or suspension components: A severe pothole impact can also damage steering or suspension components, such as the tie rods, ball joints, or control arms. This can cause shaking or vibration in the steering wheel.
It's important to have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the exact cause of the shaking and to ensure safe driving.
