Car Shaking Problems
Car shaking problems are usually the results of mechanical problems. Out of adjustment tires or suspension will make the car shake after reaching a certain speed. Warped brake rotors will also make the car shake when it’s slowing down.

Can the oil pump going out make the vehicle run rough?
No, but it will ruin the engine from lack of lubrication.
It amounts to 0.7 arcseconds (about 15 meters on the Earth's surface) and has a period of 433 days.
What can cause white smoke and water from exhaust?
In order of least expensive repairs
1 blown Head gasket
2 cracked head
3 cracked block
If water is coming from the exhaust check your oil if it is going white water is mixing with it stop the motor before you wreck the bearings.
Why does the my engine shake during a cold start for 3-4 seconds and then is fine?
Engines will often "misfire" for a while when they're extremely cold. Misfire means that one or more cylinders aren't firing when the other cylinders are running. When that happens it feels like the engine is shaking.
There are many reasons why an engine might not run well when cold, anywhere from needing a tune-up to burned valves or even injector problems.
If it's been a while since the engine has been tuned up, try that first, but have the shop run a compression test while they're replacing the plugs.
You should have someone pull off the hubs and check your bearings to see if they need to be replaced or just repacked
Why do Nadia d4 engines have an unstaedy rave when the engine gets hot?
D-4 ENGINES IS THE MISTAKE TOYOTA MUST REVIEW ON THESE ENGINES THEY HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEM ONLY ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU DO OVEHAULT (CHANGE YOUR ENGINE) SEBASTIAN DOMINIC NKOHA FROM TANZANIA snkoha@gmail.com
Where are the spark plugs located on a 1997 mercury mystique?
Pop the hood, and look at the engine. In the middle of the engine, there will be a row of black plugs connected to wires. Pull them out (there are tabs on the side you have to press in), and the spark plugs will be under them, inside the engine. You'll need either a magnetic or rubber coated socket to get them out since their in there so deep.
When you are moving at higher speeds, it could need alignment (if it pulls one way) the wheels may need to be balanced, air accordingly to the tire needs. If it is stopped.. timing?
most likely it is a cylinder missfire
it might be a broken flywheel (cracked)
What is wrong if a car starts but stops when you accelerate?
A problem with the fuel system. I'm assuming the fuel pump or carburetor/fuel injectors.
I had a 1987 Pontiac Firebird that would sputter for a few seconds when you pressed on the gas pedal. Never got it checked though but I assume that would be the problem.
When applying the brakes why does the steering wheel vibrate from left to right?
Warpped rotor. rotors are warped have them checked and turned or replaced. they should be turned after every brake change
What is likely causing the grinding noise coming from the front driver side wheel?
possibly brake pads worn down
What causes the front of the vehicle to shake when you are travelling 40 to 60 mph?
Is it okay to still drive a car when the struts need to be replaced?
The primary purpose of struts and shocks is to "dampen" the unsprung weight of the wheel assembly to prevent bounce. In other words, shocks and struts stop the wheels from bouncing when you hit a bump.
Without shocks or struts, a wheel would bounce like a basketball when you hit a bump, and the wheel wouldn't be in contact with the road very much of the time. That makes the vehicle unstable and difficult to control especially when you're going much over 15 MPH.
As opposed to shocks, struts also include suspension springs and bushings, so it depends on which part of a strut is going bad. If the springs are getting weak and the vehicle is "sagging", that's probably not too terribly unsafe, just an annoyance. If the bushings are shot, don't drive it.
In my opinion, it's not a good idea to drive without good struts, but that has to be your decision.
Your front brake rotors are warped. Have them turned or replace them along with the brake pads. This is caused by too much hard braking making the rotors get too hot and being warped by the excessive heat.
also see if your out of alignment (drive on a straight road no handed) your camber might be out.
it could also be a bushing on our power steering control arm, you can find it by tracing the black bar that leads from your wheel housing to behind your engine, just jiggle the bar a bit an if it moves and makes a metal on metal noise then that's most likely what it is. its a twenty dollar part and it is simple to fix and very very common.
your upper tie rod bushings could be worn out in which case they are fairly easy to replace.
have u had the check engine light checked for the code? if not take it to auto-zone parts house and they check it free. also check for a vacuum leak
You hit a curb and now your car shakes when you drive What is wrong?
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.
Mines was doing the same thing and the solution was to replace the front U-joint. Its fine now.
Can lose of tire traction cause your car to shake?
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.
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.
