To understand a steering wheel that shakes at highway speed, compare it under normal, safe conditions: cold versus warm, idle versus steady speed, and light versus higher load. Record the speed range and whether the shake changes while braking or accelerating. Change one condition at a time so the result stays useful.
Do not create a risky test just to reproduce it. Inspect tire damage and wheel attachment visually; recent impact or wheel work is relevant.
