What Causes the Steering Wheel to Shake While Driving a Minivan?
1 Answers
Minivan steering wheel shaking while driving can be caused by: 1. Uneven mass distribution across various parts of the tire, which creates dynamic imbalance during high-speed rotation and leads to severe steering wheel vibration; 2. Shock absorber failure, frame deformation, or excessive meshing clearance between the main drive gear and driven gear in the final drive; 3. If occurring at low speeds, it may indicate loose steering gear belts in mechanical steering systems. Minivans are characterized by their compact design without protruding engine or luggage compartments, resembling a loaf of bread - hence the name. Major minivan models are predominantly manufactured in China, including brands like Jiulong, Jinbei, Zhongshun, Changan, Songhuajiang, Changhe, and Wuling.
