What Causes a Car Steering Wheel to Shake Left and Right?

[OCorbin]

Steering wheel shaking is primarily due to lack of lubrication or component damage. Causes of car steering wheel shaking: Lack of lubricating oil in the shock absorber plane bearing; Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings; Lack of lubricating oil in the steering column dust cover; Lack of lubricating oil or damage to the steering wheel airbag clock spring. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device that controls the driving direction, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. Solutions: Apply grease to the plane bearing or replace it; Add shims to the stabilizer bar bushings; Apply grease inside the dust cover; Remove the steering wheel's airbag clock spring, apply grease, or replace it.
