Tire out of balance is the most likely cause. Can also be a bent wheel.
Your problem could be one of many different things, the major problems could be: 1. If the shaking is speed related... an imbalanced tire (wheel) could be the cause. 2. You could have a bent axle. 3. Your tire casing could be separating from the tread. 4. Your tire rim could be loose. 5. You might need new shocks. 6. Your steering linkage components could be loose or worn or broken. Good Luck... these are just a few of the things that can cause your symtom.
A shaking steering wheel means something is wrong. Can be a tire out of balance, bent wheel, or suspension problem. Whatever it is, the shaking it putting stress on other parts and can cause other things to wear out. It is especially hard on wheel bearings. have this diagnosed and repaired asap.
If its a front wheel drive, your cv joint. Another likely cause could be loose lug nuts on your wheel.
It is scared of something, is there an Escalade around? Seriously, shaking while driving could be wheel balancing or front end alignment. Shaking while at idle or what seems to be coming from the engine might be a motor mount.
Sounds like a loose wheel But it could be a bad tire with a "Lump" in it. Both are very dangerous so you need to have your car checked and repaired.
More than likely your tires are out of balance. Have your tires rotated and balanced. Make sure they check for a bent wheel.
Wheel bearings that are failing will usually start warning you with grinding. By the time they have failed completely, your wheel will certainly begin shaking--right before your wheel falls off.
It could, if the damage has caused a loose component or the alignment to be way off.if the sterring wheel is shaking while applying the brakes then most likey the brake roters need machining or replacing
1. out of balance tire 2. Steering out of alignment 3. bad wheel bearings
If front-wheel (or 4-wheel) drive, possibly a failed CV joint. Otherwise failed wheel bearing, failed suspension unit, broken suspension mounting perhaps.
You have a mechanical defect such as a worn wheel bearing or your wheels are not correctly balanced.
That is typically a wheel balance problem.
