Is Your BMW Steering Wheel Shakes While Braking? These could be the Reasons

Every car users know how useful a steering is. Without steering the car cannot be controlled and also one cannot reach the destination without the steering wheel. People want their steering wheel to move smoothly and effortlessly. But the shaking of the steering wheel makes a driver feel strange. In many cases, it is found that many BMW cars that the steering wheel is vibrating while braking. Shaking or vibrations can lead to wear or loosening of most of the parts. Shaking is not a good thing at all. If your BMW is having shaking steering wheel, then you have to know the reasons behind it and diagnose it.

What makes the steering wheel to shake in BMW?

BMW cars usually have better performing parts but still these are vulnerable to problems like shaking of the steering wheel. If the steering wheels gets some issues, then there is a risk of instability of the car. So you have to get rid of such issues from your car. For that you have to know what causes the shaking of the steering wheel while braking. Here are some common causes of the shaking of steering wheel while braking.

Warped brake rotors

Check the brake rotors if you feel the shaking of the steering wheel while braking, then the brake rotors must have been warped. Warping of the brake rotors mainly occurs due to the overheating. Warped brake rotors are the most common causes of shaking steering wheel while braking.

Unbalanced tires

If the tires are unbalanced, then the steering wheel would shake while driving. Worn tires cause the unbalance in the tires. Even use of wrong size tires would also make the wheels unbalanced. But the shaking in this case only occurs in the speeds below 60 mph.

Low tire pressure

If the pressure in any of the tires are low, then the wheels would cause the shaking of the steering wheel. Low pressure in the tire makes the dashboard to show the tire pressure warning light. The efficiency of the car is also affected if the tire pressure is low.

Stuck brake calipers

If the brake calipers in the wheel is stuck, then it would cause the warping in brakes. So when the brakes are pressed, the car steering wheel would start to vibrate.  Stuck brake caliper is also one of the common cause of the shaking steering wheel while braking.

Worn suspension parts

Some suspension parts like the ball joints and the bushings wear out or get loosened and make the vibrations in the steering wheel.

Worn wheel bearings

Bearings used in wheels make it roll on the roads smoothly. If the bearings would be worn, then the wheels would not be able to rotate properly and cause various noises while rotating, so these worn bearings in the wheels can also make the rough running and making the steering to vibrate.

Bent rims

If the rims of the wheels are bent due to corrosion or some accidents, then the result of driving which such rims would be very dangerous. The worm rims can take your wheels out of its proper alignment. The controlling of the car would also be very dangerous.

What to do?

Get your car checked properly. Inspect those parts that are more likely to cause the steering wheel shake that is the parts that is mentioned above. Check the tire surface, tire pressure. Give your tires extra air pressure and if the tire is worn, then get it replaced quickly.

Check the wheel bearings, the rotation of the wheels and replace it if it is worn. Then check the brake rotors, brake calipers and the brake pads. Replace them if they are found to be faulty

Conclusion

For all the diagnosis of the brakes and wheels, take the help of an experienced mechanic. Because if the brakes are messed up, then it would be extremely difficult to handle the car. There would be risk of life threatening accidents.

I point you all to my ko-fi page once more -> link

my parents, enraged that I didn’t sort a massive mound of clothes yesterday (after doing the other chores they asked), essentially decided they are going to start charging me rent.

So this is just in preparation for that moment when they do start asking. I’m still trying to save up to move out. It’s not a huge deal yet (idk how much they’re going to charge) so there’s no pressure to donate.

I work a full time job so I can’t really give much in return. But I can take doodle requests upon proof of donation! I’ll doodle any DCA you want.

Thanks.

#Idk what to tag this #i’m just so tired. #i’m just tired of my parents putting so much pressure on me #like 1) I did the chores they asked of me #2) The only one i didn’t do was because it was literally an overwhelming amount of clothes. The entire fucking laundry room is filled to the #brim with clothes. Literally you cannot walk in there without strpping on some #that’s 6 people’s clothes. Not even most of mine because I actually do my own laundry. other than the ones that get mixed in with the others #and they wanted me sort them. by myself. #I’m autistic and a massiver germaphobe and they wanted me to sort their grimey fucking clothes. #And when I don’t do it? call me useless and lazy #and then i fel insane because maybe i am just lazy and i should do more because they let me live here for free #sometimes i feel in the wrong. maybe i am in the wrong. maybe i should just suck it up and deal with it instead of complaining #I don’t know. I’m scared. I’m so scared #I don’t have anything to fall back on. I don’t have my own car. I have nothing.

Not to be that person, but I'm gonna vent on here. My last 2 weeks have been frustrating to say the least.

S/O and I split, it was mutual, but like that's still a connection with someone that's been changed.

Someone tried to get me fired from work by lying about me, I got it situated, but it's still irksome.

My mortgage company is saying my payment went up by 200, but it shouldn't have and I wasn't warned about the payment increase meaning they're trying to catch me with late fees.

Mortgage company is also saying that I missed a payment, I have the paperwork stating that I didn't miss a payment.

If you hear about a bunch of random people getting round house kicked straight into oblivion, just know they deserved it.

#Rant over? #I mean more has happened but that's the big stuff #I also had some mild issues with a car tire not keeping pressure #Really there's a lot more I guess #Gonna throat punch the fucking sun

I keep trying to find people who still care about covid and risk minimization but the problem is that if they make this clear on their social media profiles, they talk about it all. the. time.

It's too much. I see one too many covid posts and the anxiety starts flaring up. I appreciated that others are putting in a lot of work to stay informed, but I wish the people who are just fandom v/bloggers would care.

This could've been an opportunity to incorporate cool masks into our lives. Masks have been used for the "cool" character for ages. We can add patterns to them. They're a chance to buy fandom merchandise when you don't want yet another graphic t-shirt.

But the majority was like, nope, gonna ditch the inconvenience at the first possibility and rawdog the potentially infected air. Rather play Russian roulette with my life than add one item of clothing to my daily life. Don't want to find something that fits me comfortably!

And yes, a lot of cases may be asymptomatic or mild, but we don't know the longterm affects yet. So many people are chronically ill now BECAUSE of covid. Because they thought it was no big deal and they didn't need protection.

People get shingles later in life because they got chickenpox as a kid. Covid damages your heart, immune system, and nervous system. What the fuck is going to happen in 60 years? We don't know. We're in a mass experiment now. I didn't consent to this and no one around me fucking cares.

That's not even what this is about, I'm just used to covid denialists climbing onto covid posts every fucking chance they get to call someone who's just trying to take safety precautions a crazy idiot.

I just want people in my life who actually care, who don't just... fixate on that to the exclusion of everything else.

I don't give a shit if the precautions aren't good enough. I wear cloth masks and loose surgical masks. It's more than 90% of the people in my area are doing.

I care if someone cares at all.

#please i cannot be expected to trust the department store's air filtration. #they don't give a shit about their employees and pressure them to go back to work with active covid infections. #i don't wear a mask outside because I'm fucking tired but I'm aware it's a risk and if i KNOW I'm going to see people i do put it on #like i won't always see a person just walking to my car. #if i know I'm going through a store parking lot i put it on. #it's so fucking tiring for the choices to be 'doesn't give a shit' or 'this is pretty much all i talk about' #covid conscious #like. there's so many other things you can catch. fucking why. #i don't want to mask constantly either but we could have done SO MUCH MORE #it's maddening #and then people make FUN of you for it

objectum culture is almost rear-ending someone because you were too busy doing a double take at the handsome semi that appeared next to you on the road. (it actually wasnt much of a close call, but i was distracted for a moment. god what a pretty lad) - alvie

#objectum #actually objectum #objectum culture #objectum culture is #reminds me of when i almost wrecked my moped while admiring a cute car wash #i did wreck him later tho #the roads were wet and my tire pressure was... not it #anyway #what was the topic? #alvie anon

My car: Happy Friday time for an oil change ALSO you have two flat tires mwah 😘

#TWO. TWO???? #I noticed they were really flat this morning BUT LIKE #I just thought that was bc my tire pressure light has been on. I thought my tire pressure was just way too low #WHICH is why I took my car in to get an oil change so they could fill up my tires while I was there #But nope! Flat! TWO FLAT!! #One has a nail in it?? #And the other has some weird staple idk WHAT it is #This has never ever happened to me before not even in my old car #I guess I just got weak ass tires 😔 #New car new tires that apparently suck ass #My old car’s tires probably ran over nails all the time and went HA BITCH YOU THOUGHT #Cries bc I know the repairs/replacements are going to be expensive and I’m already short on rent for this month #Bangs my head against the wall #Shima speaks #That’s how my day has been going if you were wondering 🥰

Hey y’all! Do you have any recommendations for walkers or rollators that are foldable and can be converted to wheelchairs?  This question brought to you by today’s POTS flareup that has my heartrate jumping to the high 130s every time I stand up but I need to go grocery shopping. I sometimes need to sit down to let my heartrate come back down, but A. it tends to alarm people in the grocery store when I sit on the floor to catch my breath, B. it’s hard to get off the floor on bad blood pressure days, and C. if it converts to a wheelchair, when I hit the “okay no more walking” stage my family can wheel me along with them without having to have the “our faces are uncomfortably close to each other while you push me backwards through a store” experience of a rollator  Heck, maybe one of those like shopping bags on wheels with a fold down seat? Being pulled behind my brother like luggage would be weird but would be a safer way to get me back out to the car than trying to get me both into and out of a shopping cart without falling

#the person behind the yarn #last time this happened (also at a grocery store) it turned out to be blood sugar related not blood pressure #but both can be 'okay you will stop walking RIGHT NOW' #which is less than ideal when you are. you know. at a grocery store getting groceries #because if you're clothes shopping or something it still sucks and it's kind of a jerk move to leave the cart behind full of stuff #but the stuff won't be ruined for being left behind in the middle of the store. they can still sell it #can't do that with a lot of groceries #oh hey if I had one of these I could probably start joining my dad on his walks! #there's lots of little trails he likes to go take walks on #but while they aren't that long are fully paved and start and end at the same parking lot #if my blood pressure crashes halfway through he can't get me back to the car without hurting himself #my dad could probably carry me but also has a chronic shoulder injury that means he really really shouldn't #so I just don't go on those walks with him #pre-pandemic when we went to zoos or places like that we'd walk for the morning then when I got tired we'd rent a wheelchair #but that's not really an option at the grocery store unfortunately #so maybe it's time I get one of my own

Guys, I did something I'm really proud of

I inflated my tire and checked tire pressure all by myself like a big girl! Yayyy!!🚗

#car trouble #inflated tire #tire pressure #i am adult #I never learned how to fix cars growing up #and yes this is a very small achievement #but i wouldnt have known what to do if my bf had not shown me 3 years ago #but i did it #and i only panic called my bf once #im a real girl now #yayyyyyyy #600 canon years old/23 irl years old #and i finally did it

FYI: when you go back to the tire place where you got your tire replaced because you went to your dealership because your tires have been wonky for a week, and the people at the dealership say that the reason your tires are wonky is because the dudes at the tire place forgot to replace the whole fucking interior of the valve and sent you off onto the road with basically just finger tension on the tire stem cap, the response of the person you talk to at the tire place re: reviewing their best practices so they don’t endanger any more people holy shit should not be “haha yeah that happens all the time! :)”

[you do understand how that’s worse.meme]

#I haaaaaaate being a White Lady With A Complaint #but you had one job and you blew it and not even in an interesting way #just a very boring and VERY DANGEROUS way #because! #because!!! #without the interior of the valve was GONE #my tire pressure sensors had nothing to read! #I took the car to the dealership #because I thought something was wrong with my *wheels* #since the tires had just been replaced

[blkwag]

going to the car shop as a girly…

#came to get my tire pressures looked at bc the notif always goes off my on car then just disappears #so i was pretty close from the shop bc i left the gym #the guy asked what my psi was… #WHAT #i literally took a pic of the sticker on my car and showed him #like what does that mean #but it was quick

Hello. It’s currently two in the morning and I’m debating with myself over the merits of bottled water versus tap water. Because are they that different? And they say tap water is good for you (like your teeth?) but is this a lie? Also, how purified is purified water? They add sodium to it to make you stay thirsty. They say it’s to help with thirst, but I don’t feel that constant need for hydration when I drink tap water and -

Is there a support group for this? Not the water thing, but the “it’s two in the morning and I’m thinking about water” thing instead of being a normal person and fucking sleeping. Is there a support group? Can I make one? Can we all just sing lullabies and slap one another when the brains start rumbling like fucking lawn mowers?

Can someone just smack me please? Preferably unconscious.

#the tags are not even worth it #i would just like to sleep #please #next it’ll be the tire pressure on my car and “is it the change in temperature or is my tire really low’ question #oh look -

#i might have to get a tire repaired or replaced today besties! #i have no money to deal with this rn #please please please let the tire guys say my tires are fine #and that it's just something about the heatwave causing low pressure #<- my car is kept in a garage so maybe the temp fluctuations are doing somethinf

[goldenhypen]
