Why Does the Steering Wheel Shake When Braking at High Speed?
1 Answers
High-speed braking causing steering wheel shake can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Uneven brake disc wear: This leads to steering wheel vibration when braking at high speeds. 2. Braking torque imbalance: When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, uneven braking torque causes asynchronous movement between left and right wheels on the same axle, resulting in brake looseness. When this imbalance reaches a certain degree, it creates unequal rolling speeds between left and right wheels, causing lateral wheel oscillation which is then transmitted to the steering wheel.
