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

[ElisaMarie]

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's a problem with wheel balancing, it means the wheel isn't 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 suffered impacts during previous driving, it may become deformed. Due to the deformation of the rim, the wheel may vibrate during driving, leading to steering wheel shaking. 3. Chassis Component Issue: This generally occurs in vehicles with poor post-accident repairs. The impact during an accident can affect chassis components, also resulting in steering wheel shaking.
