What does it mean when your steering wheel shakes when you brake?
If your steering wheel shakes a lot while you’re braking, that could mean that your rotors are out of round. In other words, the rotors have started to wear out, lose their shape, and become warped. Even if you just got new brakes installed, vibrations while braking is a sign of a serious problem.
Why does my tire shake when I put on new tires?

Why does my steering wheel vibrate at 40 mph?

What causes vibration after new wheels and tires?
Hey everyone, I know this might sound like a repeated thread, but I really doubt it is as I haven’t been able to find a similar case to this almost anywhere on the net.

A worn tie rod affects the overall balance of the vehicle which further causes uneven tire wear. The tie rod is the one that connects the steering wheel to the rack and supports the vehicle when turning the wheel. If it gets wear out, you are sure to experience shimmying steering wheel when driving.
