Car Shaking Problems

Without seeing and/or listening to the vehicle, in person, it is almost impossible to tell you with any degree of certainty what the problem is, however...

It would be a good idea to check the rear universal joints. Then check the differential and tires.

Most likely warped brake discs

To adjust wheel alignment, you must;

have the vehicle on a level surface,

check alignment with gauges or other suitable equipment,

raise vehicle,

remove ball joint using splitter,

turn track rod end depending on toe in or out,

lower vehicle and check again.

this is a lengthy process, and may need to be repeated several times.

hope this helps

A bad o2 sensor can cause this problem in a car. A bad fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel line will also cause hesitation during acceleration.

time for a maintance of spark plugs and wireing cgange

A smaller wheel will be easier to turn, but will travel less for each revolution.

A bigger wheel will be harder to turn, but will go farther with each revolution.

Sticking a bigger wheel on a car that hasn't got the power to get it turning properly will make it slower - not faster.

Sticking a smaller wheel on a car that's already has its engine spinning like crazy won't make it faster either.

This problemsounds like the tires might need to be rotated and balanced. the car might need to be aligned if the car pulls to the right when you are driving straight.

you more than likely need to change the unversal joints that are conected at both ends of the driveshaft. hope this helps

I have a 1997 f-150 4x4 , the same thing happened to me...it was the wheel bearing

The computer illuminates the "check engine" light when it detects a condition needing attention, such as a faulty sensor. The computer will FLASH the check engine light when the condition is significant and should be addressed immediately.

You can purchase, rent or borrow a computer code scanner at most auto parts retailers such as Checker Auto Parts or Auto Zone.

Normally, I would look first to the fuel metering system for the cause of this problem.

have front suspension checked

Your problem could be one of many different things, the major problems could be: 1. If the shaking is speed related... an imbalanced tire (wheel) could be the cause. 2. You could have a bent axle. 3. Your tire casing could be separating from the tread. 4. Your tire rim could be loose. 5. You might need new shocks. 6. Your steering linkage components could be loose or worn or broken. Good Luck... these are just a few of the things that can cause your symtom.

Well No Expert Here But If Your Getting Lots Of Gas In Oil If 1 Plugs Not Firing It Allows The Unburned Gas right Into Oil ItSelf.. Check That All 4 Sparkplugs Are Firing That First Thing To Check

Check for a loose inner or outer tie rod.

There are many reasons, I would say first, change your oil to something a little thinner. if the shake is for more than a minute, you may want to have a mechanic look at the engine.

thick oil on a cold morning will all settle to the bottom overnight, and the pistons, rods, etc will all rub a bit, and give some vibration. if the oil is coating, it wont do that so much, and thinner oil will be easier on the oil oump in the morning when it is cold, and you should notice a difference.

if it does it longer than a minute, it may be the choke sticking, or a bad o2 sensor, or possibly an airflow sensor. a mechanic can tell you more specifically with the car in front of them, instead of "best guessing" it over the internet. if it only does it when it is cold, maybe leave it at the shop overnight, and meet them in the morning, and start it while they are there and let them see the shake you are describing.

You "CAN" but even old tires that look good can cause all sorts of trouble that feel like alignment problems. The alignment shop is going to recomend changing them.

Around 30.00 each assuming they are not warped and minimum thickness stamped on them is not exceeded. They can only be turned a certain number of times.

Ensure all sway bar links are good (front & rear). Make sure front end is tight and struts are not worn.
