Helpful Tyre and Car Maintenance Advice
Simple vehicle checks can improve safety, prevent breakdowns and reduce repair costs. Read our practical advice on tyre condition, wheel alignment and brake maintenance.
How to Check Your Tyre Tread
Tyres need enough tread to maintain grip, especially on wet roads. Check the full width of each tyre for cuts, cracks, bulges and uneven wear. The legal minimum tread depth for most UK cars is 1.6 mm. However, replacing worn tyres earlier may improve wet-weather grip and braking.
Signs Your Wheels Need Alignment
Your vehicle may need wheel alignment if it pulls to one side, the steering wheel feels off-centre or the tyres wear unevenly. Correct alignment can improve handling, reduce tyre wear and help your vehicle drive more smoothly.
When Should Your Brakes Be Checked?
Have your brakes checked if you hear grinding or squeaking noises. You should also arrange an inspection if the vehicle vibrates or takes longer to stop. Early checks can prevent further damage and reduce repair costs.

Why Is My Steering Wheel Shaking? Common Causes and What to Do!
A shaking or vibrating steering wheel can be worrying, especially when it happens at higher speeds or while braking. In many cases, the problem is caused by an issue with the tyres, wheel balancing, wheel alignment, brakes or suspension.
Ignoring the vibration can sometimes lead to uneven tyre wear, poor handling and more expensive repairs later. If your steering wheel has started shaking, it is a good idea to have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
At Bro Tyre, we regularly inspect vehicles with steering vibration and handling problems at our Eastville and Westerleigh branches in Bristol. Below are some of the most common causes.
1. Wheel Balancing Problems
One of the most common reasons for a steering wheel to shake is incorrect wheel balancing.
When a tyre and wheel are not balanced correctly, you may notice vibration through the steering wheel, especially when driving at higher speeds.
Common signs include:
- Steering wheel vibration at motorway speeds
- Shaking that becomes worse as speed increases
- Uneven or unusual tyre wear
- Vibration after new tyres have been fitted
Professional wheel balancing can help identify and correct the problem.
2. Wheel Alignment Problems
Incorrect wheel alignment can affect how your vehicle drives and how your tyres wear.
You may notice:
- The car pulling to one side
- An off-centre steering wheel
- Uneven tyre wear
- Poor handling
- Steering vibration
Wheel alignment problems can be caused by hitting potholes, kerbs or speed bumps, as well as worn suspension components.
If your vehicle does not feel stable or your tyres are wearing unevenly, a wheel alignment inspection may be required.
3. Damaged or Worn Tyres
Your tyres are the only part of the vehicle in direct contact with the road, so any damage or uneven wear can affect the way the car feels.
Steering wheel vibration may be caused by:
- Uneven tyre wear
- A damaged tyre
- A bulge in the tyre sidewall
- Incorrect tyre pressure
- A tyre that has become misshapen
Driving with a damaged tyre can be unsafe, so the tyre should be inspected before continuing to drive long distances.
At Bro Tyre, we can inspect your tyres and advise whether they can continue to be used safely or need replacing.
4. Brake Problems
Does your steering wheel shake mainly when you press the brake pedal?
This may indicate a problem with the braking system.
Possible causes can include worn or uneven brake components. You may also notice:
- Vibration when braking
- A pulsing brake pedal
- Reduced braking performance
- Unusual noises when braking
Brake problems should always be inspected promptly.
Our team can inspect your brakes and explain what repairs may be required before carrying out any work.
5. Worn Suspension or Steering Components
The suspension and steering systems contain several components that help keep your vehicle stable and under control.
Worn or damaged components can sometimes cause:
- Steering wheel vibration
- Knocking noises
- Poor handling
- Uneven tyre wear
- A loose or unstable feeling while driving
A professional inspection can help identify whether the problem is related to the suspension, steering, tyres or another part of the vehicle.
6. Bent or Damaged Wheels
A wheel can become damaged after hitting a deep pothole, kerb or road hazard.
Even small wheel damage can sometimes cause vibration while driving.
If the shaking started suddenly after hitting a pothole or kerb, the wheels and tyres should be checked for damage.
When Does the Steering Wheel Shake?
The timing of the vibration can provide useful clues about the possible cause.
Steering wheel shakes at high speed:
This is often associated with wheel balancing, tyre condition or wheel problems.
Steering wheel shakes when braking:
This may indicate a problem with the braking system and should be inspected.
Steering wheel shakes at all speeds:
This could be related to tyres, wheels, suspension or steering components.
Steering wheel shakes after hitting a pothole:
The vehicle may have suffered tyre, wheel, alignment or suspension damage.
Is It Safe to Drive With a Shaking Steering Wheel?
A small vibration does not always mean there is an immediate serious problem, but it should not be ignored.
Steering vibration can sometimes be an early warning sign of a damaged tyre, worn suspension component, brake problem or wheel issue.
If the vibration is severe, the vehicle feels difficult to control or you notice unusual noises, stop driving when it is safe to do so and have the vehicle inspected.
