Hi, i've recently been on a road trip to a farm and have gone on rocky roads and through mud. Since i've been back on the road my steering is a lot more heavy and when my car goes past 80km the steering wheel shakes.

Have your wheel alignment and suspension checked

Also look for mud impacted on the back side of the wheels.

I had this same problem with my 1997 Liberty, I had a wheel balance and it seemed to fix it
