While driving the steering whels sometimes shakes as if the weight is not properly distributed on the axel. I had changed all tired around 8 months ago and recently replaced the front struts and went for a wheel allignment and balancing. The wheel shaking happens at random and i can also smell something burning when this happens.
The car drives fine the next morning and for a day or 2 and then the problems comes back suddenly even when i am driving at 25mph.

Hi arhamhasan,

Is the steering wheel vibrating or shaking as if it is turning from left to right?

If it is vibrations, it could be the engine misfiring.
