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.

Besides bent rims and or bad tires what else can cause serious car shaking when braking?
If it only occurs during braking, then you have a rotor or drum issue. Most times it is a warped or scarred surface on the rotor or drum. You may be able to get it resurfaced for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
The "awful grinding sound" might be a problem with your power steering
What will a fouled spark plug do to your engine?
A fouled spark plug will make you lose horsepower if the plug is not producing a good spark. The other thing a fouled plug can do is if it is not firing right the fuel that gets into the cylinder dosent get burned all the way and it is then pushed out the exhaust valve and goes into the exhaust system. from there the fuel can get hung up in the catalic convertor and then burn in the convertor and then you will nedd to replace the convertor
it also causes the unburnt gasoline to wash the oil off the cylinder wall and cause undue wear
Why would car shake and feel pulsating in accelerate pedal?
Maybe some of ur sparkplugs are not working causing the spark to ignite the fuel but idk why it would be doing that maybe an injector is bad
Probable cause is a warped front disk brake rotor. The rotor can be "turned" to eliminate vibs if not too worn.
What would cause the wheel or wheels of 2003 Chevy truck to squeak when driving?
I'd focus attention on the U joints or if it's a 2 piece drive shaft, check the center "carrier bearing".
It sounds like your tires are out of balance. I would take it to a tire shop and get them balanced. If you have a Walmart nearby, and they have a shop, it's fairly cheap there. That should be your answer.
ANS2:I agree. More than likely a tire balance and rotation will solve the vibration problem. Of course, ask them to inspect the tires for any defects.Why does your Jeep Wrangler shake violently?
It is refered to as "Death Wobble" & seems to be a problem on many Jeeps! Problem is normally caused by a worn Track Bar, if not that the Tie Rods are usually the problem. I am having same issue & have been replacing tie rods one by one & have found 2 bad.
If it shakes all the time it is a tire/wheel problem. If it only shakes when braking then it is a brake problem.
How do I keep my steering wheel from shaking when my brakes are applied?
Have the front rotors turned on a lathe at a dealership. check brakes and rotors
What causes vibration in steering wheel when braking?
All of the following causes mean you have a serious safety issue:
Most comon is a bent brake rotor, but bent drums are also a suspect.
Oil leaking onto the brakes can all cause this.
Bent wheels could be a cause.. Bent from curbs, or bent from tightening & loosening lug nuts improperly.(rare) OR you should have the suspension checked out thoroughly. Most cars are riding on rubber components that have a tend. to wear out. Bushings, Bearings, Axles, shocks you have to check them all.
What would cause the steering wheel to shake at low speeds on a 1996 Ford Windstar?
- A very bad tire - belts separated
- Out of balance wheels
- Warped brake rotors
Change my radiator on your 1999 Acura TL?
i need step by step instructions on changing my radiator in my 1999 acura tl 3.2 liter
Car shakes vigorously when you accelerate mostly uphill?
Usually caused by spark plugs not igniting properly. Check that your spark plugs and and your spark plug wires are in tact and working.
most likely misfiring cylinder(s) and/or worn engine mounts.
Why would a car vibrate in drive when stopped at a light?
A bit vague his one. When an automatic vehicle is stationary, the engine is "laboured" i.e it is under load, as if you were in a manual car in a high gear but only travelling at 5 MPH. It is common for SOME vibration to occur under these circumstances. It could be that something inside the car has become loose therefor adding to the vibration sound. It might be worth checking you r engine and transmission mountings aswell as any weakness here could result in increased movement under certain circumstances. The easiest way I find to do this is to open the bonnet, and attempt to pull away with the handbrake on both forwards and in reverse, (I would advise that you take care and dont over-do this as something may give way under the torque, just gentle accelerator pressure for a second).Look out for excessive movement of the engine, some movement is normal however. If this draws a blank I would then consider the general engine behaviour, does the car idle OK at a steady RPM? Anything other than the isses I have mentioned may be related to the auto transmission which I believe is a job for a real specialist, I havnt met anyone yet who is really clued up with an auto box (not outside of the specialist/dealers that is).
Why would a car shake while driving?
then check wheel balance
It could be your alignment. If it's off it shakes.
If the vibration is from about 45 mph and faster the tires are out of balance or bad.
If its vibrating at a slower speed you have a bad suspension part and if it vibrates at idle you need a diagnostic and possibly a tune-up.
First check the balance of your tires. This is the cheapest scenario. Then the suspension and allignment.
More advice:
- Check for mud, ice or sand in rim. Check wheel bearings for play if none,test driveaxles by lifting car up and holding one wheel with a bar while someone puts in drive and presses on the gas to see which side the shake comes from. I replaced both axles and the shake was less but still present. I changed the carrier with spiders and the problem went away.
you could also have a separated or broken belt in the tire
Why car shakes while driving and braking?
Rotors are warped. Have them trued or replaced as necessary. Also replace the brake pads at the same time.
"Probably" nothing to do with the rack and/or motor mount. I'd check the wheels first. Lift the vehicle and spin the wheels. Watch for a bent rim or a slipped belt on one of the tires. Those are the two most common problems that can cause what you describe.
If that's not it, check the half-shaft (axle) and make sure nothing is bent and that the CV joints are ok.
Why does the front end of your 2001 jeep xj shake at 65mph with a 2 inch lift?
The panner bar under the front has too much stress on it and is making your front end jerk from side to side real fast which is causing a shake . You need a drop down bracket for the bar that goes from your fram to your axle on your front suspension ( panner bar ) You can use the one for a 3 " lift it wont hurt anything , just make sure you get your front end aligned after you install it . If you have not had your front end aligned after the lift you need too anyways .
What tool is used to get a stripped spark plug out?
Did you strip the actual plug is rounded off or did you strip the plug threads? If you stripped the plug itself and can get to it use vise grips. If you cannot get to the plug then go to your local parts store and tell then what happened. I know Snap On makes a special socket to remove rounded off bolts and spark plugs. Now if you actually stripped the spark plug threads then you may be able to just chase the old threads with a tap and clean them up enough that you can insert a new plug. Use anti-sieze compound and do not over tighten. 13 ft/lbs and no more. If that is not possible you will have to purchase a Helicoil. You local parts store can sell you the correct size and tell you how to use it.
