Car Shaking Problems

Your universal joints are shot, get them replaced asap!

Yes, If you hit something. Rotors are very essential in stopping, that's what the brake pads are pressed in against to bring your car to a complete stop.

because you run them to hard and it causes wear and tear. Specialy when you drive alot at high rpms it causes metal to metal.

Remove and reinstall the wheel. You do not have the lug nuts installed correctly. The wheel was not seated properly.

Low pressure in the tires can cause shaking, the alignment can cause shaking also.

Could be in need of a tune up... carb and timing adjustment. New plugs,wires,rotor, dist cap.Tune ups are needed on a regular basis ussualy once a year depending on the amount of miles you put on the car? The charging system sounds o.k but tune up may be in order.

Front wheel drive check cv joints, motor mounts, steering bushings, and bearings, rear wheel drive check motor mounts, universals, drive shaft, bearings, and steering bushings.

I have 98 4 cyliner automatic Toyota Camry. When I'm coming to a red light, and when I'm braking, the car begins to shake, and the shake doesn't stop even when the car is stopped. Howeverif i switch the transmission from drive to neutral, the car stops shaking. If I switch back to Drive or reverse, it car starts to shake again. What could be wrong?

If your truck is 4wd, it might be your front axles. A mechanic pushed & pulled on it & heard the noise it did. He told me it was fine. The shake you have on the rear end is the same problem I have. I have replaced all 4 tires, u-goints, shocks, front hub bearings, & so on. The trany, & drive shaft is not @ fault like the book will tell you on trouble shootings. Accidently, I blew out my left rear tire. I put my spare on & it actually went away. My truck recomends light truck tires & my spare is a passenger tire. I do not like the passenger tire but now I have narrowed down my search. If you raise the rear end, have someone get it to speed when it shakes & watch your lief springs & the tires. Then take the tires off (don't forget to have 2 lug nuts holding the drum in place) Sure hope this helps you.

Check the tires for being round. Sometimes a belt will slip and make the tire egg shaped.

Depends on how many miles are on them, at the very least, check gaps & appearance.

If you only did the front brakes, the problem may be in the rear brakes.

It means that one of the emission system components is malfunctioning. Could be due to some of the following reasons: dirty or inoperative PCV valve - dirty oxygen sensor - your gas tank cap may be loose or the wrong type.

sounds like you need a tune-up

Coil 4

A bad Tie rod usuallydoesn't SOUND like anything, but some good indicators that you have a bad tie rod are incorrect alignment, and uneven tire wear on your front tires.

The tread is 305 mm wide

The frontend most likely needs alignment.

---- Have them double check the wheel balancing while they're at it.

The rotors could also not be sitting cleanly against that nice new hub - pull it and check there's no corrosion build up on the backside. If there is, just wire brush it clean.

Of course, the rotor itself could be a bit out-of-true/round.

And then there's the tire itself - belts that have separated inside the tire can cause a good shake also.

But I agree with Hollyday516, I'd start with the alignment and wheel balancing...

"The oil light being on full time even when you have sufficient oil" perhaps the sending unit needs replaced. "Car moving Forward with clutch depressed" The Clutch needs adjusted it is not fully disengaging. Good Luck and Remember.

if the car is an automatic, there is a problem with your torque converter if it is a standard shift the fly wheel may be out of balance

Wheel bearings and allignment. Can be tires as well and sometimes even a bad motor mount.

Any automotive mechanical shop. Expect to pay at least $75 though, depending on your engine make and model. The shop will likely suggest that you replace the spark plug wires and distributor rotor as well, and sometimes the distributor cap itself. This is normal and usually good advice but not 100% necessary if you're on a tight budget, the choice is yours, don't be pushed around. Beyond that, be sure to get second, and even third, opinions about any extra repairs, like brakes or mechanical repairs, that the shop may 'suggest' needs to be done.

Yes A VERY common concern is steering wheel shake due to ice in the rims

A continuous thumping noise and floor shaking while driving on a 2000 Honda Accord could mean a loose exhaust system. It could also mean a bent frame or a broken spring.
