Why is my Ford Kuga's steering wheel shaking while driving?

I recently bought a Ford Kuga and on my first long drive, I noticed that the steering wheel was shaking a lot when I reached high speeds. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi John, it sounds like you might have an issue with your wheel alignment. It's important to get this checked as soon as possible because it could lead to uneven tire wear and affect your handling. Make sure to take it to a trusted mechanic and have them inspect the alignment.

Hey John, another possibility could be an issue with your tires. If they are old or worn out, they can cause shaking at high speeds. You might need to get them replaced. Also, make sure they are properly inflated as this can also affect the steering.

John, check your suspension as well. If any of the components are worn out or damaged, it can cause shaking in the steering wheel. Have a mechanic inspect your suspension to see if anything needs to be replaced.
