Why is my steering when on my car shaking while driving? I was driving my car today to work and while I was driving my steering wheel was shaking really bad?

It hasn't done this before. What can be causing my steering wheel to shake?

When your steering wheel starts shaking it usually due to an out of round unbalanced tire. Look at your tires and make sure they're not bulging.

You might want to take it to a tire shop and have them at the tires if you're not sure what to look for. A bulging tire can blow out causing you to roll the car so make sure you get it checked and fixed.

It's also possible that a steering link is lose somewhere on your car too. I'd have a mechanic inspect it to make sure everything is alright.
