Why Is My Steering Wheel Vibrating?
Steering vibration should not be ignored. The speed at which it occurs and whether it appears under braking can help a technician narrow down the cause.
Common tyre and wheel causes
Wheel imbalance, a buckled wheel, tyre deformation or impact damage can all create vibration. Missing balance weights are another possibility.
Other causes
Brake components, wheel bearings, steering joints and suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. A physical inspection is the safest way to diagnose it.
What to do
Reduce speed if vibration is severe, inspect the tyres for obvious damage and arrange a check as soon as possible.
Frequently asked questions
Why does vibration happen only at motorway speeds?
Wheel imbalance often becomes more noticeable within a particular speed range, but other faults can cause the same symptom.
