Car Shaking Problems

Bent rim. If you rotate it to the rear it may eliminate problem.

Have the wheels inspected and replace a bent one. Putting it on the rear will cause your rear axle bearings to wear out. Do not mount a bent wheel on your car, replace it.

There is such thing as "Tire Hop" if you are accelerating real hard in a high performance vehicle. If not, need more detailed info. Describe year make model and how and when it does it.

Mines was doing the same thing and the solution was to replace the front U-joint. Its fine now.

Having a bad rod bearing could cause a truck to make a loud knocking noise and shake when driving at high speeds. The engine having a coolant leak or an engine timing problem could also cause the knocking noise.

Miss or vacuum leak.

The balance would be the first think. but if ur tires is old or it was flat for a while there will be a little bump on the side that will make its vibrate. do a balance first. if the problem will not be solved then change ur wheels put front on the back and rear in front but dont drive it if the steering wheel will shake. change it back

Don't take any chances. It may be something small but things like this can get more severe very quickly. Call your local doctor right away to book an appointment.

engnine misfires...tune-up time...read up basic diagnosis in a manual.. everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available in the REFERENCE section...make copies of the right sections...good luck :)

They need to be balanced. This is done by placing them on a machine which spins the wheels and determines where and how much weight to put along the rim. The weights are either clamped along the rim or there are self-adhesive weights that can be stuck to the inside on custom rims.

Since I don't know what your vibration feels like, it COULD be a worn U joint (rear wheel drive only) or it could be a tire balance or bent wheel problem.

P041 is "No Cam Reference Signal from the Ignition Control Module"

possible warped brake pads or warped rotor

Shaking while stopped, can be caused by broken motor mount, or engine miss.

Tires out of balance, worn t-rods, Bad u- joints, Belt broke in tire.

Have a mechanic take it for a drive and get their opinion.

Serious engine knock or valve train noise. Have this looked into by a pro.

this has been a problem that has been going on from the beginning. the timing can not keep up with your foot. when you press the gas, the timing adjust to accommodate. G. M. has found a solution, VARIABLE TIMING. it adjust on the fly, it is hydraulic controlled, using the motor oil. it is not easy to work on, needs special tools and training, but it works great. this feature it part of the new VORTEC ENGINE.

Probably i would go for wheel balance and maybe check your wheel bearings rotors will not make it shake because of speed

You must check your wheel balancing

tire out of round belt shift bent rim or play in front end components. could be a rotor if it gets worse during breaking it is rotor.

shaking and vibration are some of the more difficult things to diagnose.

Focusing on suspension and steering, assuming it shakes both while giving it gas in gear, and coasting in neutral. (make sure its speed/movement related, not engine/rpm related)

Check your tires for uneven wear or a difference in tire pressure. One of the most common causes of vibration is simply that tires are worn and not worn evenly.

The car is fairly new, but depending on your driving habits, your tires may be worn and need replacement (making sure you rotate your tires every 5000 miles will lengthen their lifespan dramatically and most places will do it for free for life if you buy their tires).

if it isn't tire wear or tire pressure, the next things to look at are your steering joints. Bad CV joints, Tie rods (inner and outer) can cause bumps and shakes that can be hard to pinpoint. You alignment may be off causing these symptoms as well.

Look for torn rubber boots and escaping grease, that's a clear sign of a bad joint that may need some attention.

I know SEARS at least used to do free suspension inspections. That might be a good place to start.

Yes more than likely, warped rotors. Have rotors turned if thick enough as well as new brake pads installed. If the rotors do not meet a minimum thickness requirements, they will have to be replaced as well. A good shake down of the front end wouldn't hurt either. Sometimes bearing, tie rods, etc... can cause stuff to happen as well. But I would bank on the warped rotor idea, no doubt. Good Luck. Let me know if further questions.

Yes. Keep the speed down below the shake speed, get to a tire facility and have the wheel balance and alignment checked.

It really depends on why it is shaking. If you have a wheel about to fall off due to loose lug nuts, or a defective tire, then no, you should not drive it.

1st you should determine the cause of the misfire:

Does the vehicle have "coil on plug" ignition system?

Could be a bad coil

Could be a bad spark plug or wire

Do a compression test to see if problem is internal to the engine:

Burned valve or bad piston

You can drive vehicle, however fuel mileage will be bad and you will probably ruin the catalytic converter

Gun shots from a drive-by ought to do the trick. But the magazine capacity would have to be somewhat small, or the cyclic rate quite high.

It could be any of a number of problems:

bent wheel, faulty tire with a slipped belt, bent axle.

If you can't track it down yourself, take it to a good front-end specialist. Every large sized town has someone who specializes in front-end alignments. Don't go to the tire store unless you know them PERSONALLY, and avoid the shops that do it all.
