A shaking o r vibrating steering wheel, especially at high speeds, can be caused by several wheel o r tire-related issues:

Unbalanced Tires: When tires are not balanced properly, it can cause vibration, especially at higher speeds. This happens because the weight distribution on the tire is uneven, causing it to wobble.
Worn Out o r Damaged Tires: If the tires are damaged such as having a bulge o r flat spot, it can lead to vibrations in the steering wheel. Worn tires that have uneven tread wear can also cause vibrations.
Misaligned Wheels: If the wheels are misaligned, it can cause uneven tire wear and lead to steering vibrations at higher speeds.
Suspension Issues: Problems with suspension components, such as worn-out shock absorbers o r ball joints, can cause vibrations in the steering wheel.
Solution: Have your tires balanced by a professional. If the tires are damaged o r excessively worn, replace them. Also, get your wheel alignment and suspension components checked to address any underlying issues.
