Vibrating steering wheel and shaking in the cabin

What can be the causes of vibrations?

On braking: warped discs

When the vibrations are only felt when braking, it is a sign that the brake discs are veiled. It is when the pads come to press on it that you realize that the surface is no longer straight, hence the vibrations.

Balancing

It may be a question of poor balancing ( lead weight posed by professionals when changing your tires because they never have the same weight to the nearest gram).

Parallelism

The other possible cause is the parallelism of the steering wheels. Sidewalk enthusiast drivers are mainly targeted. in this case the vibrations be perceived at high speed. It should be added that poor parallelism can cause premature or abnormal wear of your tires and increased consumption. The price of a parallelism can vary from 40 to 60 eur/usd .

Continuous shaking?

Play in an undercarriage

A little play somewhere can cause vibrations, I am thinking in particular of tired silentblocks or tie rods at the end of their life.

Warped rim(s)

The tremors can also come from one (or more) warped rim. Here again, drivers who love the sidewalk are mainly targeted. Then, the problem will then be to know which one or which ones are in question.

Chassis deformed following a serious accident

Be careful, the tremors can also come from a car that has been restored following an accident. So beware of these tremors when acquiring a used vehicle. It is normally impossible to buy a used car with an affected chassis because the law prohibits it. A control mechanism makes it possible to avoid fraud, but unfortunately not 100%.

Gearbox

It also happens that a gearbox problem (automatic or mechanical) can cause tremors. To find out if it can come from there, observe the vibrations on each gear carefully. If it does not vibrate at all in 4 while in 5 yes, the track of the box can begin to be studied.
