Why is the steering in my Audi A5 shaking?

I just bought a used Audi A5 and I noticed that the steering wheel shakes when I accelerate. What could be causing this and is it something I need to be concerned about?

Samantha, based on your description it sounds like your front wheels may be out of balance. This is a common issue with used cars and can cause shaking in the steering wheel. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have the balance checked and adjusted if necessary.

Hi Samantha, another possible cause for the shaking could be worn out or damaged suspension components. This can lead to instability in the steering and should be addressed by a professional as soon as possible.

Hello Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Audi A5 and found out that the tires were not properly inflated. Be sure to check your tire pressure and adjust accordingly. This might solve the shaking in your steering wheel.
