What would cause the steering wheel to vibrate while driving down highway?

* Unbalanced tires: unbalanced tires can cause vibrations in the steering wheel.

* Misalignment: Wheel alignment issues can pull your vehicle to one side and introduce vibrations.

* Bent or damaged rims: Bent or damaged rims can cause the tire to wobble, which could send vibrations through the steering wheel.

* Worn suspension components: worn suspension components such as ball joints, tie rods, and control arm bushings can cause shaking or vibration in the steering wheel.

* CV joints: Worn or damaged constant velocity (CV) joints can also cause vibration.

* Driveshaft issues: Problems with the driveshaft such as worn or damaged U-joints, or an unbalanced driveshaft can cause vibrations.

* Engine issues: Engine problems like a misfire or a faulty engine mount can also cause the steering wheel to vibrate.
