The steering wheel shakes even at low speeds. What could be the problem?

Thanks for the help.

Thank you eherlihy, for the input.

I saw in one of the YouTube channel, one of the quick check is to swap front tires with rear ones. If this does not solve, I will take it to alignment shop.

As others have stated it could be several things. Need more information to go on. Culprits are as follows from the above poster and also include..

Rotors, cv axles as well. Is there any pulsating during braking? Does it happen all the time or only during acceleration or deceleration? Does the front end move as well? Meaning do you feel the front of the car shaking?

Just a few things to look for so we here can help you diagnose your issue.

Bent rims and tires not aligned properly are to look for. Don't bother with wheel bearing, tie rods, or even ball joints. Those doesn't cause a wheel shaking while driving.

I had that issue not that long ago. My rotors were so chewed up from just sitting that they were catching the brake pad on every Revolution causing a violent Shake. I'm also going to be replacing pretty much the whole front struts and tie rod ends if needed.
