Can a bad caliper cause the steering wheel to shake?

Yes

A bad caliper can cause the steering wheel to shake when braking. This is because a caliper is responsible for slowing down or stopping a vehicle by squeezing the brake pads against the brake rotors. If the caliper is not working correctly, it can cause the brake pads to apply uneven pressure to the brake rotors, which can lead to the vehicle pulling to one side or the other and causing the steering wheel to shake.
