how to fix my Toyota Camry steering wheel shaking while driving

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine off.
• Disconnect the battery if working on electrical components.

2. Tire Balancing

1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle using a socket set.
2. Mount the wheel onto the balancing machine.
3. Follow the machine’s instructions to balance the tire.
4. Reinstall the wheel onto the vehicle, ensuring lug nuts are torqued to manufacturer specifications (usually 76-100 ft-lbs).

3. Wheel Alignment

1. Take the vehicle to a professional alignment shop or use an alignment kit if available.
2. Adjust camber, caster, and toe settings according to manufacturer specifications.
3. After adjustments, recheck the alignment to ensure it is within the acceptable range.

4. Suspension Inspection and Replacement

1. Visually inspect tie rods, ball joints, and bushings for wear.
2. If any component is worn, remove it:
   • For tie rods: Use a tie rod end puller to separate it from the steering knuckle.
   • For ball joints: Remove the retaining nut and use a ball joint separator.
3. Replace worn components with new ones, ensuring they meet OEM specifications.
4. Reassemble and torque all fasteners to the specified values.
