What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking When Braking?
1 Answers
The reasons for steering wheel shaking when braking are: 1. Worn or loose half-shaft tie rod ball joints or detached rubber bushings at the connection points; 2. Vehicle transmission system malfunction; 3. Tire deformation; 4. Improper tire balance; 5. Twisted or deformed drive shaft, or loose/dry/rusted universal joints; 6. Uneven brake discs; 7. Overly loose or tight power steering belt. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting component between the steering gear and steering shaft, facilitating steering gear standardization while compensating for manufacturing and installation errors, ensuring proper installation of the steering gear and wheel in the vehicle.
