Some Toyota Solara owners report experiencing a wiggling or shaking steering wheel despite having no apparent alignment or brake issues. These owners often identify potential causes such as uneven tire wear or out-of-round tires, which can lead to steering wheel wobbling. Additionally, loose lug nuts may contribute to steering issues if not properly torqued. Worn or damaged steering linkages, control arm bushes, and ball joints are also common concerns that can affect steering stability. Problems with suspension components, including ball joints, tie rods, or strut bearings, may further exacerbate the shaking. Moreover, an out-of-balance tire can cause the steering wheel to shake at certain speeds, and a power steering fluid leak onto bushings can accelerate wear, leading to additional steering difficulties. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to ensure a safe and smooth driving experience in their Toyota Solara.
