Car Shaking Problems

there are many benefits of getting the tyres balanced such as would help make the steering improve and can even save you fuel.

Car engines are demanding and require proper care to be taken. Failure to do so can result in problems with fuel, ignition, emissions, and other various systems. A vehicle is said to be idling when it has sufficient power to work the steering or other components but not enough to move the vehicle itself.

No, not less one of the tires is out of balance. But it is never, ever, a good idea to have two different size tires on the same axle. This is a big no-no.

Is there a clunking sound that increases as wheel speed increases? Sounds like a rock in the hubcap? Perhaps you have a bad CV joint. Check wheel alignment? Tire balance? Something that rotates only when the car moves is causing the vibration, and on Intrigues (all front-wheel drives for that matter), there's not many things that go 'round. The vibration worse on acceleration than braking points to alignment or CV joint to me. If it is worse on braking, suspect warped brake rotors. The steering wheel will shake in either case.

Tire out of balance.

Low pressure.

There are a number of things but the most common is a tire out of balance.

Could have a broken belt or cord in the tire.

Try that first.

Also, bad spark plugs have been known to cause this exact problem.

Also you could check the balance of the front hub, if it is out of balance then it might cause that exactly problem. and remember, if the inner cv joints are worn then it could cause a super hard vibration...

Check all front end components for wear. Then check the engine and transmission mounts as the engine could be shifting and causing the shake.

You put 20 inch rims on a Lincoln Town Car by jacking the vehicle up and removing the old wheels. Depending on the model, a lift kit may have to be installed before mounting the 20 inch rims onto the vehicle.

If you purchase the tire(s) at the same place you mount & balance them, it should be no more than $10 per tire (I even remember Costco charging $5 a few months ago). However, if you go to a gas station or independent auto repair facility it can cost up to $20 per tire. If you pay more than $20 per tire, you've paid too much.

The engine mount (which are made of rubber) are worn out.

No. A catalytic converter wont. If its a rear wheel drive, check your drive shaft. Front Wheel drive, CV Joints. Other than that worn steering. Exhaust wont cause this issue.

probably a wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod end, or tire balance issue. A bad CV joint is possible but unlikely. a severely bent rim will also cause a shimmy but usually at a higher speed.

Worn clutch packs in your automatic transmission could do it, tranny fluid level might, and even could be your torque converter. BUT it could also be worn universal joint on you driveshaft if you have a rear wheel drive vehicle because your causing a shift in what drives what when you decrease speed, causing the play in the worn out U joints to snap to the other side of themselves. Check your driveshaft for play before you even start to mess around with the transmission.

Yes if the shocks are bad it can allow a shake to happen

It will also put a lot more stress on other things and cause them to wear out very fast

Worn shocks can also allow tires to wear improperly so that they will shake also.

they are silenly saying your an idiot

It will cost a few hundred dollars to replace the battery in a car like that. Some cars have to have certain batteries. You will need to replace it once every five years.

Then you may have a bent wheel, worn or loose wheel bearing, or steering or suspension parts worn. Have everything inspected.

Listed in your owner's manual and somewhere on the vehicle, Normally on the driver's door post.

no not unless someone has installed the tune up parts incorrectly or they are not the right parts ex.wrong spark plug or gap is off.

They were not torqued to the correct OEM ft/lbs when installed. It is also possible the wrong type lug nuts were installed. You must match the lug nut with the wheel as there are many different types. Just because it fits the bolt does not mean it is the correct nut. Same are flat, some are conical, and others are a combination. Also if the lug nit was cross threaded it will not stay tight.

Your tie-rod ends or ball joints are probably badly worn. Or it could just be air friction pushing your car to one side.....

Tire out of balance, loose lug nuts, worn wheel bearing, or bent wheel.

Losse wheel, worn bearing, or more than likely, a worn CV joint.

your tires may need to be balanced or you might need a front end tie rod. Take it to a brake and muffler shop and they will tell you exactly what the problem is. It's up 2 u if u want them to work on your vehicle. I had the same problem on my car and they wanted $500, I took it 2 my machanic and only paid $150 (including Parts)

my jeep Cherokee Laredo did the same thing, it was the oxegen sensor, smelled like gas when you drive it and spit and sputter, especially at take off.

Most likely a simple spark plug misfire. Try changing plugs and possibly wires/rotor/distributor cap, whatever is recommended in your vehicles service manual.

Yes, you should check all of the rims and while you're at it, recheck the one that was just replaced. You might also have a bent axle shaft. Check that the new wheel was balanced when installed. Check alignment and other front end parts for possible damage if the curb strike was very hard. You may have also damaged your hub assembly when you hit the curb
