If a 1995 Olds Aurora hesitates and shakes really bad while driving what could this be?

Hey John==It sounds like it is missing on one or more cylinders.Have it checked out. Good luckJoe

Sounds like the tires you are using. Upgrade to a V rated tires. Mine are smooth. Get the intake cleaned. Made a big difference in mine. Use on Premium fuel.

It sounds like you are missing on 1 or more cylinders. On this vehicle, the coil pack is a likely ciulprit. They are a fairly easy change, and should go for $50 or less at a parts store. Going to a reputable repair shop and paying for a diagnostic test is worth the money. It could also be bad injectors. Fuel consumption will probably have risen noticeably for either problem.

Why does your steering wheel shake at 50 mph?

50 MPH = 80.45 KM/H.

Most common (but are not restricted to) causes of noise and vibration problems:

1. A poorly seated tire on the rim 2. The tire or wheel assembly are out of balance 3. Rim that are out of roundness 4. Tire that are out of roundness 5. Irregular tire wear

If there are problem(s) with your tires or the way they have been installed, they will most likely begin to shake and vibrate your vehicle at between 50 and 65 MPH ( 80.45 and 104.585 KM/H).

There's a high chance that the problem may be cause by unbalance wheels, a visit to your local Tire mechanics, to have the tires balance may be able to eliminate the problem.

Check your tie rod ends, balljoints, and wheel bearings. However, it is most likely that you have a bad tire (uneven spots / "runout"), a tire out of balance, or a bent rim. If you have your tire balanced and all of your suspension components are fine and it still shakes, its most likely a bent rim. The only way to fix this is to get a new rim, but that's expensive. What I did was rotate my tires, and the shake went away (bent rim moved to back). This is not the proper way to fix it, but it worked for me.

It could also be your CV Shafts, depending on if its a front wheel drive car or not, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc.

What is wrong if a 1994 Saturn SL1 bucks twice whenever you decelerate under 50 mph if fuel injection cleaner helps for a while but the problem always returns?

If you can add a injector cleaner and it bandaids the problem temporarily it may be because your vehicle's fuel filter is becoming plugged which will cause a lean condition. Also the O2 sensor (Oxygen sensor) may need replacing. Both items can cause a lean condtion which will show up as a surge or bucking. MM

Do front engine cause vibration under the gas pedal and strain the front tires?

I think you mean front wheel drive, it is true there will be more wear on the front tires than on a rear wheel drive. That's why wheel rotation is important. As for vibration, that's far more likely to be wheels requiring balancing than because its front wheel drive.

Why would your 1930 model A front end shake after hitting a bump?

Most likely loose or worn parts on the front axle and tie rods. It is important that everything is tight (within specs) and in proper alignment. The caster and toe-in has to be set within specs. When things are loose, you can hit a bump and the car all of a sudden goes out of alignment, causing it to shake. I own a 1930 Model A. Also had a 1924 Model T. The Model T is notorious for front end wobble. Mine was warn where the spring perch goes through the front axle. It was loose and could not be repaired. It would shake you right out of the car. I changed the axle out and lined up the front suspension, then the wobble went away.

What causes the steering wheel to shake at high speeds?

Tire out of balance, bent wheel, defect in tire, loose wheel bearing, worn suspension parts are common causes. Have the tires removed inspected and balanced. Have all other parts inspected.

My 2001 dodge stratus is misfiring while I am at a steady speed I have recently replaced my computer got a new timing belt and water pump got new spark plugs and wires and the engine light isn't on?

Could possibly be the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recycle) valve is sticking. I had this problem and it almost feels like the engine hiccups. Drove me crazy. I replaced spark plugs, wires, timing belt, etc. before figuring it out. The EGR valve is for emissions control only so you don't need it. To test to see if it's the problem just disconnect it and drive around to see if the problem has gone away. You'll probably get some check engine light if you drive without it, but plugging it back in should should clear that. Hope your problem is as simple as that. Part costs ~$100 and I replaced it myself.

How do you determine if wheels are out of balance?
