Can a bad tie rod cause my car to shake?
I recently noticed that my car’s steering wheel shakes while driving. My dad suggested I get my tie rods checked. Can a bad tie rod cause my car to shake?

When your tie rods are worn out, a shaking steering wheel can be one of the first symptoms. You may also notice some of the following:
- Clunking or rattling noises, especially when turning
- Unresponsive steering
- Too much “play” in your steering wheel
Your tie rods are crucial for your vehicle’s steering system to function properly, so if you’re having any issues you’ll want to take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible.
While mechanical issues may be unavoidable when you own a vehicle, you can avoid overpaying for car insurance with a little help from the
