If it's because a tire is out of balance, how do you know which tire to get balanced?
Don't want to pay for all 4 if it's only one. Also, how does a tire suddenly become unbalanced?

just get the both front balanced if the stering wheel is shaking when you do about 25 to 40 miles per hour and how it goes out of balance.When you hit a pot hole or something the weights either fall off or they move or it can be caused by tire wear

It could very well be an out of balance tire. Have someone drive next to you (preferably on a 4 lane), first on one side, then the other. If it's out of balance enough to shake the steering wheel, it will probably be visible from the other car.
A tire can become unbalanced if it loses a balance weight. I've also seen them get unbalanced from getting a big clump of mud stuck behind the wheel.

If your car is shaking through the steering wheel you should get the front tires balanced. you should pay no more than 8$ per tire

I would get the tires balanced and have them check the alignment. Does the shaking stop after you reach a certain speed?

TAKE YOUR CAR IN.......COULD BE SOMETHING AS SMALL AS GETTING YOU TIRES ROTATED OR AS BAD AS A problem with a bent rim or a steering box that's F*** up you never know so if you don't know anything about cars....which you obviously don't take it in and quit asking morons on the internet about it. Do you want to be able to drive?

It might be wheel alignment causing shaking. Denpending on when the shaking occurs.
When you balance tires, you mainly need the two front ones only.

check the wheel,to see if you lost a wheel weight.also you could have broke a belt in 1 of your tires.i would have the front end checked.it might not even be a tire,it could be a tie rod or ball joint.

The alignment is off and just take it in to a tire shop and have your tires rotated.
