When does the steering wheel shake and vibrate?
Start by driving your vehicle under a few different conditions to determine if it occurs at: low speeds, highway speeds, while accelerating, while braking, at standstill idle, or when turning left/right? It may also be happening under multiple instances such as accelerating and highway speeds.
Why does my steering wheel wobble at high speeds?
Below are the top causes for a steering wheel wobbles at low or high speeds: This one makes the most sense. The steering wheel is used to direct the wheels, so it’s only normal for tire problems to come through the wheel. The most obvious culprits here are out-of-balance tires.

What causes steering wheel to shimmy when braking?
As your brakes wear, if low-quality pads/rotors are used, many cars can become a victim of a steering wheel vibration/shimmy while braking. It’s usually most significant when braking from a high speed like on highway off-ramps. To find out if this is the issue, first pull off your front wheels and inspect your front brakes.

Why does my steering wheel shake at idle?
Vibration at idle was completely normal due to the stiffer nature of the mount. If you have a P80 or P2 Volvo, begin by replacing your upper engine mount and transmission torque mount. These are both relatively easy to replace a not too expensive.
What should I change in my Volvo P80?
If you have a P80 or P2 Volvo, begin by replacing your upper engine mount and transmission torque mount. These are both relatively easy to replace a not too expensive. Again, keep in mind if you decide to use the upgraded polyurethane mounts, you may notice the same amount of vibration if not more!
