Car Shaking Problems

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.

best bet is to go buy new ones better in the long run

Jack it up and spin it.

You start by taking the engine cover off. You can accomplish by removing quarter sized plugs in the cover on top of the engine. Removing the plugs will provide access to screws to remove the cover. After removing the cover, you have to remove the coil packs which slide down on top of each spark plug. You should see 'posts' with 10mm nuts which need to be removed. Pull each coil pack out after removing the nuts, and the spark plugs should be accessible.

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.

If the 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.

if u want to remove a plug you have to be careful that water is not in your hand see that it is dry before u pull the plug thank

you need an alignment, badly....or your bearing snapped. call a mechanic, and tell them your vehicles' symptoms. they'll tell ya the same thing i just did

call a locksmith you probably damaged the ignition switch and it need to be replaced.ask him if he can fit the new switch to the same key as the original.

Engine mounts

it sounds alot like a wheel balance is needed....

Many auto manufacturers engage the AC compressor when the defroster is used because the AC system also dries the air. In a humid environment the drying effect of the AC can help keep the windshield clear.

Check for either a bent wheel or a faulty tire. Low speed "wobble" is an indication that the bond between the tire and the belt inside the tire may have failed. Have it checked by a reputable and qualified tire or alignment shop.

Check the front brake pads.

low blood surgr!!

1. out of balance tire

2. Steering out of alignment

3. bad wheel bearings

cause you might not of put tighten the tire when you replaced it . or your rim is bent, did you hit a curb?

Yes; if your fuel pump relay fails you will not get fuel to your motor and your vehicle will not start.

The condition has many names, "run on", "piston glow", "dieseling"... basically, the carbon deposits in the engine are hot enough that once you turn off the engine the heat from the carbon deposits will continue to ignite the fuel, keeping the engine SORT of running.

That was one of the many reasons for going to EFI. In an EFI engine, once the key is turned off, the injectors STOP injecting fuel and the engine stops.

If your vehicle is EFI, you probably have a leaky injector.

If your vehicle has a carburetor, it's "run on", and you might get a little benefit from a tune-up and possibly a carburetor rebuild.

This is a classic symptom of a tire out of balance. Have the tires inspected for damage and have the tires rotated and balanced. This should solve the problem.

because that's kind of a big engine

Ah yes the mysterious shake... As far as I can tell, its the torque converter... Though if that's not your problem, it could always be your idle sensor...

Could it possibly be the U-Joints as well?

There is a Technical Service Bulletin out for this issue. The fix is to loosen the trans mount on the driver's side and reposition it.

mebbe there is somert wrong wiv the enging, or mebbe it is just normal because it is an old engine!

Usually it's a wheel balance issue, but it can also be worn steering components, a bent wheel, a faulty tire or a bad CV joint.
