Why does the steering wheel shake when braking at 120 km/h on the highway?
1 Answers
The reason for steering wheel shaking when braking at 120 km/h on the highway may be due to a malfunction in the transmission system or uneven wear of the brake discs. When driving at 120 km/h on the highway, the steering wheel shaking during braking could indicate an issue with the car's transmission system. It is advisable to check for rust or looseness in components such as the tie rod and tie rod end. Here is additional information: 1. Shaking: When braking at a certain speed, the left and right wheels on the same axle may experience uneven braking torque, causing them to brake and release alternately. 2. Solution: If the uneven braking torque becomes significant, it can cause the wheels to roll at different speeds, leading to side-to-side oscillation that is transmitted to the steering wheel. There are two solutions for uneven brake disc wear: one is to resurface the brake discs, and the other is to replace them.
