- Wheel alignment: The wheel alignment may be affected when a tire is repaired, especially if the suspension components were disturbed during the repair. Misalignment can cause the steering wheel to shake.
- Damaged tire: If the tire was damaged beyond repair and not replaced, it could cause the steering wheel to shake.
- Bent rim: If the rim of the wheel was bent during the tire repair, it can cause the steering wheel to shake.
- Loose lug nuts: If the lug nuts were not properly tightened after the tire repair, they can come loose and cause the steering wheel to shake.
- Worn steering components: If the steering components, such as tie rods, ball joints, or steering rack, are worn or damaged, they can cause the steering wheel to shake.
It's important to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify the exact cause of the steering wheel shaking and have it repaired accordingly to ensure safe driving.
