A shaking steering wheel can be caused by several issues, including:
1. Unbalanced tires: If your wheels aren't balanced properly, they could cause your steering wheel to shake.
2. Brake Issues: Problems with brake rotors (warped or uneven wear), pads, or calipers can cause vibrations felt through the steering wheel when braking.
3. Suspension or Steering Components: Worn out parts like tie rods, ball joints, or bushings may lead to steering shake.
4. Wheel Alignment: Incorrect alignment may cause the vehicle to pull to one side and lead to shaking of the steering wheel.
5. Damaged Tires: A bent or damaged tire can result in shakiness while driving.
6. Loose Lug nuts: The wheel's lug nuts could be loose causing vibration.
