Usually wheels need balancing when the wheels vibrate when going along. BUt the steering wheel shakes when stationary? no idea lol

If the car is stationary and the steering wheel shakes then you cannot blame the wheels needing balanced
I would look at the engine mounts to see if they are worn

Also, if you idle is to low then it can cause the steering wheel to shake when stationary. What is your idle set at?

yeah, dont drive it whatever you do. The engine will fall straight out if you go over 30mph...
lol totally joking... It just means your engine mount bushes are worn & may need replacing.

Maybe you have up-rated engine mounts and they can also cause the shaking:haha:

Start your engine and open the bonnet. Look at the engine and see is it rocking back and forwards much. Get somebody else to give it a rev while you check for much movement.
