What Causes the Steering Wheel to Shake on Its Own?
1 Answers
Idle steering wheel shaking is caused by loose steering wheel bolts or rubber bushings. Causes of shaking during driving: • Imbalanced wheel alignment, shaking when turning: Power steering belt too loose or tight. • Shaking when braking at high speeds: Excessive or frequent braking force, overheated brake pads/discs leading to thermal deformation. • Shaking on bumpy roads: Worn tie rod ends with excessive play or detached joint rubber bushings. About steering wheels: It is the wheel-shaped device used to control direction in vehicles like cars, ships, and aircraft. Its function is to convert the driver's input force at the rim into torque transmitted to the steering shaft.
