    Curious to know what could be the cause of this. The steering wheel shakes quite a bit when you get to 100 km/h territory. Also notice a slight woble on the steering wheel when doing slow speeds.

    Any ideas what the cause might be?

    Possibly an unbalanced wheel(s)?

    Tyre Pressure
    Tyre bulges
    Wheel buckles
    Wheel balancing

    Check in this order first

    Or warped brake disc if it happens at low speed when you brake?

    It happens at slow speeds when not braking also. I will do the checks and see what happens. Thanks everyone.

    My dad had warped brakes and it wobbled at all speeds. As already posted,OP Go to a tyre centre, they shall reveal all.
