Ever cruising down the highway when suddenly your steering wheel begins to shake? Well here are a few possibilites:
🔧 1. Tire Issues: The #1 Culprit
If your wheel shakes—especially at certain speeds—the first thing to check is your tires.
🛠️ Fix it: Visit a tire shop for balancing or alignment. If a rim is bent, it may need replacing.
Your car’s wheels should point straight and be in sync. If they’re not? Cue the shake.
🛠️ Fix it: Get a professional wheel alignment—it’s usually quick and affordable.
If the shaking happens when you’re braking, it could be your rotors.
🛠️ Fix it: A mechanic can resurface or replace your rotors. Don’t ignore brake-related shakes—they’re a safety issue.
Less common, but more serious: your suspension or steering components might be worn or loose.
🛠️ Fix it: This one needs a professional diagnosis. Worn ball joints, tie rods, or struts can all be culprits.
If this is not the only issue you have been having in terms of driving you should either contact a handyman, or assess your driving needs with a driving school. Driving schools are an overlooked resource as they can help you stay safe in an activity that you most likely do everyday, in ways such as DUI/Risk-Reduction, Driver’s Education, or Etc. Like always, we hope you have a great day! Stay safe on the roads!
