What are common causes of a shaking steering wheel in an Audi 80?

I've noticed my steering wheel shake when driving between 50-60 mph in my Audi 80. What could be causing this issue and how can it be resolved?

This can be caused by a number of issues such as unbalanced tires, worn suspension components, or a malfunctioning wheel bearing. It is best to have a professional mechanic diagnose and address the issue to ensure safe driving and prevent further damage.

If the shaking only occurs during braking, it is likely due to warped brake rotors. You will need to replace them to restore smooth steering and proper braking performance.

Another possibility could be a worn tie rod end or steering rack. Have a mechanic inspect these components and replace if necessary.
