WrenchConnect diagnosis problem signals
Over time, heat and wear can cause the front brake rotors to warp or develop uneven thickness. When the brake pads clamp down on uneven rotors, it sends a pulsation through the steering wheel.
At 150,000 miles, worn tie rods, ball joints, or control arm bushings can allow the front wheels to shift slightly under braking forces, resulting in a shaking sensation in the steering wheel.
