Why is Car and steering wheel shaking?
Tire out of balance, bent wheel, worn suspension parts, bent drive shaft, or possibly a broken motor mount.
Why do your engine shake when you excelerate?
If your engine shakes when you accelerate, you may have a broken motor mount. You need to get it fixed before your engine falls out of your car as you drive along.
Do bad bushings make your steering wheel shake?
Yes, it is possible. Any loose/worn front end part can cause steering wheel to shake.
What causes shaking steering wheel at 40 mph?
Steering vibration is almost always caused by the tires/wheels. Either your wheels are out of balance or one or both of your tires is defective. There could be a broken belt in the tire that is causing the vibration. If you don't want to take your vehicle to a tire store right away, you can check by reversing tires front to back. If your problem is with the tires, the problem should go away after reversing the tires. However, I don't recommend you do nothing about the problem. Last summer one of the front tires of my pickup had a bad belt, which caused the tire vibrate violent at high speed, and within a few miles, the tire tread separated and fell off. Had I not slowed down before the tire separated, I would have most certainly lost control of the vehicle. The prudent thing to do is take it to a reputable tire store. I recommend you take it to a Goodyear-owned service center. By reversing the tires first, you will know if it is a bad tire/wheel and nothing else. That will give you peace of mind when the mechanic tells you what your problem is.
If the vehicle has a lot of miles on it, a worn tie rod could also be the cause. A good mechanic will check for wheel balance first since that is a lot less expensive. Replacing one or both tie rods can cost several hundred dollars.
If one or more tires are defective, you should get an adjustment to the cost of replacing them. You may have to take them to the tire store where you purchased them. If they came with a new car, take the car to the auto dealership.
Worn wheel bearings usually don't occur until the vehicle has at least 75,000 miles on it. Vibrations that only occur at certain speeds is usually not a problem with wheel bearings, but a problem with the tires, wheels and/or front suspension. Replacing worn wheel bearings can cost several hundred dollars per wheel.

How can you check an ignition coil?
Very Carefully!
Modern electronic ignition systems can operate at 100,000 volts so will bite you hard if you become part of the circuit.
You can also damage or spike any electronic management system or control boxes on the car.
To check the coil you will need some kind of meter or measuring device. These tend to be part of an engine diagnostics pack so coupled with the above warnings I would recommend using some kind of dealer. I am not saying that a competent DIY mechanic cannot do it, but if you need to ask you probably do not currently have the skills and its not one to learn on!!
In the old days. with pre electronic management systems, we used to take off an ignition lead put in an old spark plug, use insulated grips to hold it against the block, turn the engine over and look how strong the spark was. You would probably kill yourself and the car doing this now!
How can you tell the difference between a flat spot on the tire and a bad wheel bearing?
If you suspect a flat spot on a tire examine the tire closely. You should be able to see a flat spot.
To determine if your car has a bad wheel bearing rotate the wheel. A bad wheel bearing will often make a grinding sound as well as feeling rough as you turn the wheel. A bad wheel bearing may also shake or wiggle. It will also cause a car shaking problem.
Probably because the spring-loaded horn plunger is getting pinched causing it to find a ground within the steering wheel. You will need to loosen up the steering wheel and retrace your steps.I hope this helps you.
How much should you be charged to balance your tires when you buy new tires?
The shop I work in charges $22.00 dollars for mounting and balancing each new tire.
Another Answer:
Some shops charge more and some assume that the tires must be balanced before you can use them and include balancing in the price of the tires. Unfortunately, that often makes it difficult to comparison shop.
In reality, tire shops will charge whatever they want to balance tires. You can either pay the price or shop elsewhere.
3% means 3 out of every 100 tires is bad. Your car only has four, so the chance of you having a bad tire is .12%
If this is a Ford Escort (aka Tracer) get the powertrain mounts neutralized, and if that doesn't work, just remember that Escorts are like that.
If not an Escort, suspect low idle speed, misfire at idle typical of poor fuel control, or damaged or soft powertrain mount.
== == low idle tune up out of balance engine bad tranny mount bad engine mount price varies by car and problem

Why do you get speed wobbles on a skateboard?
because the faster u go the more sensitive the board is to steering & once u put it out of balance even the slightest it will jump that way so ur body compensates for this by switching direction & back and forth u go
the only way to stop it is push out with ur legs like a jumping jack but ur feet wont move, its just to stabilize the board
