What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking at 110 km/h on the Highway?
1 Answers
Highway driving at 110 km/h causes steering wheel shaking for the following reasons: 1. Tie rod deformation: During driving, collisions can deform the steering tie rod and lateral tie rod, causing wear and looseness in various ball joints or irregular tire wear, leading to increased or reduced toe-in. 2. Oil leakage: While driving, damaged steering dampers, oil leaks, or deformed front suspension springs can also affect stability. Loose wheel hub bearings and severe wear in left and right steering knuckle ball joints result in inaccurate front wheel alignment. 3. Wheel imbalance: Loose lateral thrust rod ball joints or bracket looseness can cause unstable driving. Wheel imbalance, loss of original wheel balancing weights, or changes leading to high-speed wobbling can result in steering wheel shaking.
