Why does my Kia Soul's steering wheel shake?

Every time I drive over a bump or hit a pothole, my steering wheel shakes. It's really uncomfortable and I'm worried it could be a safety issue. Is there something wrong with my car?

It's possible that your car's suspension system may be worn out or damaged. This can cause the steering wheel to shake when going over bumps or uneven terrain. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic for an inspection and potential repairs.

Another possibility is that your tires may be unbalanced or have uneven wear. When this happens, the steering wheel can vibrate or shake. It's important to get your tires inspected and rotated regularly to prevent this issue and ensure safe driving.

One thing you can try is getting an alignment for your car. Sometimes, the wheels can become misaligned due to regular wear and tear or hitting potholes. An alignment can help correct this and reduce shaking in the steering wheel.
