 In-Depth Look at Causes of Steering Wheel Shaking

Tire and Wheel Issues
 Tire Balancing: Unbalanced tires are one of the most common causes of steering wheel vibration. This imbalance can occur due to uneven tire wear or after installing new tires. Regular tire balancing is essential for a smooth ride.
Wheel Bearings and Axle Problems: Damaged wheel bearings or a bent axle can also lead to steering wheel vibrations, particularly noticeable at certain speeds or while turning.
 Brake Component Malfunctions
Rotor Issues: Over time, your vehicle's brake rotors can become warped due to excessive heat and wear. This warping causes a noticeable steering wheel vibration, especially when braking is applied.
 Brake Caliper Sticking: If a brake caliper sticks, it can create a shaking sensation in the steering wheel. This usually happens due to a lack of lubrication or a buildup of dirt and debris.
 Engine and Drivetrain Factors
Engine Mounts: Worn engine mounts can cause the engine to move excessively, leading to vibrations felt through the steering wheel.
Drivetrain Components: Problems with the drivetrain, including issues with the drive shaft or U-joints, can cause vibrations that may be transmitted to the steering wheel.
