I've noticed that whenever I'm driving my Vauxhall Movano, the steering wheel starts to shake. It's not a severe shake, but it's definitely noticeable and I'm worried it could be a sign of a larger issue. What could be causing this and what should I do?
ReplyBenjamin, the shaking steering wheel could be due to a number of factors. One possibility is that your tires may be out of balance, which can lead to vibrations in the steering wheel. Another possibility is that your suspension components, such as the control arms or tie rods, may be worn or damaged. If you notice the shaking happens at certain speeds or when you hit bumps, it could be a sign of suspension issues. It's best to have a professional mechanic inspect your vehicle to pinpoint the exact cause.
Hi Benjamin, another thing to check is your wheel alignment. If your wheels are not aligned properly, it can cause the steering wheel to shake. This can also lead to uneven tire wear and affect the overall handling of your vehicle. It's a good idea to have your alignment checked regularly, especially if you frequently drive on rough roads or hit potholes.
