I warm up my car and my steering wheel is still kinda has a shaking vibrating feel. Back then I didn't really notice it because my dad just handed the car down to me, so recently I try warming up and it still kinda vibrates. Thank you

4cyl vibrate a lot because they only have 4 cylinders. That is, if you're i4.

Motor mounts are easy to check. In a more extreme case it could have something to do with your balance shaft.

Could be wheels, could be axles, could be tires, could be needing alignment. Is this only at idle? Only while driving? Could be warped rotors, could be motor mounts... Could be warped fans..

yeah, give some more detail about, when it happens, 4cyl or 6?, AT or MT?, any sounds while driving, and any work done recently that you see in rackedout's list of possible problems. that way you can eliminate what it could be

Are you sure you just aren't used to having a 4cyl? At a light or something I can sometimes also see my steering wheel vibrating. And my car is in perfect mechanical condition.

Mine also vibrates but I think its a common issue with the 4 cylinders.
