What Causes Severe Steering Wheel Shaking When Driving at High Speeds?
1 Answers
The reasons for severe steering wheel shaking when driving at high speeds are as follows: 1. Issues with the car tires. Uneven mass distribution across different parts of the tire can cause dynamic imbalance when the wheels rotate at high speeds, leading to severe steering wheel shaking while driving. In such cases, a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing of the tires are required, and severe cases may even necessitate tire replacement. 2. Apart from tire-related issues, other possible causes include faulty shock absorbers, frame deformation, excessive clearance in the meshing of the main and driven gears of the final drive, etc. 3. Additionally, excessive or frequent braking can cause the brake discs and brake pads to overheat and deform upon cooling, resulting in steering wheel shaking. Generally, replacing the brake discs and brake pads can resolve this issue.
