If the brake discs or rotors of your vehicle have become warped or uneven, it can cause the steering wheel to shake when braking. This often happens due to excessive heat build-up or uneven wear on the brake components, leading to vibration and pulsation.
When the brake pads become excessively worn, they may not be able to properly contact the brake rotors, resulting in vibration and juddering of the steering wheel during braking.
If your vehicle's tires are unevenly worn, it can cause the steering wheel to shake due to imbalances in the rotational force applied to the wheels.
If there are any issues with the steering components such as loose ball joints, worn tie rods, or faulty wheel bearings, it can cause vibrations in the steering wheel during braking.
If the wheels or steering components of your vehicle are misaligned, it can affect the vehicle's handling and cause vibrations in the steering wheel during braking.
Stuck or malfunctioning brake calipers can apply uneven pressure on the brake pads and rotors, causing vibration and shaking in the steering wheel.
If the lug nuts or bolts that hold your wheels in place are loose or not properly tightened, it can create a shaking or wobbling sensation in the steering wheel, especially during braking.
It is important to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify the exact cause of the shaking in the steering wheel when braking. Ignoring these issues can compromise your safety and the performance of your vehicle.
