Steering Wheel Shakes at Highway Speed
The steering wheel vibrates or shakes primarily when driving at highway speeds, indicating a likely wheel balance or suspension issue.

Possible Causes
Wheel imbalance: Loss of balance weights or uneven tire wear causing vibration at higher speeds.
Warped brake rotors: Rotors may be slightly warped, causing vibration felt through the steering wheel during braking, but can also be felt at speed.
Worn suspension components: Loose or worn tie rod ends, ball joints, or control arm bushings can cause steering wheel shake.
