What makes a steering wheel shake while driving?
Recently, my steering wheel’s been vibrating a lot when I’m out driving. Should I take it in to get fixed? What makes a steering wheel shake while driving?

That’s worrying, for sure! In most cases, a shaking steering wheel may indicate a problem with the tires or brakes. Here are some potential causes for a vibrating steering wheel:
- Warped brake rotors
- Misaligned or skewed tires
- Unbalanced tires
- Stuck brake pad holders
- Suspension or handling issues
Any of these causes can pose major problems for your vehicle. It’s best to get your shaking steering wheel checked out sooner rather than later to keep the problem from getting worse.
Hope that helps explain why your steering wheel is shaking.
