Why is the steering wheel of my Audi 80 shaking at high speeds?

I recently noticed that my Audi 80's steering wheel starts shaking when I drive at speeds over 80 km/h. It's not a slight vibration, but a noticeable shaking that makes it difficult to keep the car straight. What could be the cause of this issue?

The most likely cause of your steering wheel shaking at high speeds is an issue with your wheels and tires. It could be due to uneven tire wear, a bent rim, or imbalanced tires. Have your tires and wheels checked and aligned by a professional to resolve the issue.

Another possible cause of shaking at high speeds is worn out suspension components. Check for any worn or damaged shocks, struts, or control arms and have them replaced if necessary.

Sometimes steering wheel shaking can also be caused by a faulty steering system, such as a worn steering gearbox or loose tie rods. Have your steering system inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic to ensure safe and smooth driving.
