Why is my Ford Kuga steering wheel shaking while driving?

I've recently noticed that my Ford Kuga's steering wheel starts to shake when I reach a high speed on the highway or when I have to brake suddenly. Is this a common issue with Ford cars? What could be causing it and how can I fix it?

Hi John, the most common cause of steering wheel shaking while driving is unevenly worn or damaged tires. Have your tires checked for any signs of wear and tear and get them replaced if needed. If the issue persists, it could also be due to a problem with the suspension or the wheel alignment. It's best to have a professional mechanic inspect your car to determine the exact cause.

Hey John, another possible cause for the steering wheel shaking could be a problem with the brake rotors. If they are warped or damaged, it can cause vibrations when braking. You may need to have them resurfaced or replaced. It's also recommended to have your brake pads checked as well.

John, make sure to also check your wheel hubs and bearings. Worn or damaged wheel hubs and bearings can also cause steering wheel shaking. It's best to have them inspected and replaced if needed by a mechanic.
