Why Does the Steering Wheel Shake When Braking in a Truck?

[PeytonAnn]

Here are the specific reasons for steering wheel shaking when braking in a truck: 1. Wheel Balancing Issue: The wheel consists of a tire and a rim. When there is a problem with wheel balancing, it means the wheel is not in a balanced state during high-speed driving. If the balancing data is incorrect, the wheel's rotation center will shift, causing the wheel to vibrate, which in turn affects the steering wheel. 2. Rim Problem: If the rim has been impacted during previous driving, causing it to deform. Due to the deformation of the rim, the wheel may vibrate while driving, leading to steering wheel shaking. 3. Chassis Component Issue: This generally occurs in vehicles with poor post-accident repairs. Due to the impact during the accident affecting the chassis components, steering wheel shaking may also occur.
