What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking When Turning?
1 Answers
Steering wheel shaking should be analyzed based on actual conditions, often caused by tire deformation or vehicle drivetrain issues. It could also result from worn tie rod ball joints, detached rubber bushings at joints, or irregular tire wear. Below are detailed explanations: Toe Angle: Vehicle collisions may deform steering tie rods and lateral rods, with worn ball joints or irregular tire wear causing toe angle variations. Wheel Balance: After certain mileage, original wheel balance weights may fall off or wheel hubs deform, causing front-end oscillation and steering wheel vibration at high speeds. Loose lateral rod ball joints or brackets create driving instability. Severe wear in wheel hub bearings or steering knuckle ball joints leads to inaccurate front-wheel alignment. Damaged steering shock absorbers (leaking oil) or deformed front suspension springs also affect vehicle stability during driving.
