Re: shaky steering wheel
Hearing anything unusual? Grinding, whirrling?
I'd check the balance of your wheels/tires, if there's any cupping of the thread. I would also jack the front end up, grab the 12 & 6 o'clock position, 9 & 3 o'clock positions and see if there's any play...it should be solid.
I'm betting there's an issue with your tires...rotate the rears up front and see if it goes away. -
Re: shaky steering wheel
if its tires, and you swap the fronts to the rear, itll still shake, but you will feel it in the seat and pedals rather than the steering wheel. prolly just need a balance and rotateTeam NoVa

Re: shaky steering wheel
i was thinking it was probably off blanace but i dont know why it would be i did buy a new tire on the front passanger side couldnt afford to buy 2 i had no job but that was never a problem so i dont know how the balance couldve been thrown offComment

Re: shaky steering wheel
just happens i guess, if its on the front, it could be caused by hard braking, hard cornering, mis-aligned front end, bad tie-rod ends, or numerous other things.Team NoVa

Re: shaky steering wheel
im probably going to end up just balancing the tires or possiby buying a new tire and let them balance themComment

Re: shaky steering wheel
If the caliper slide is sticking you can usually hear brake noise when your not on the brakes. Tires can create a push or pull in the front end depending on wear patterns. I would do as others have said and rotate the tires and see what happens.
