Car Shaking Problems

Slighty loose should only cause tire wear. It will get worse. As it gets worse the car will start to want to follow the groove in the road and worse tire wear and possibly pull. Something to fix soon.

Most often this is cause by a warped rotor. In most cases the rotor can be turned and returned to a perfect condition. In some cases the rotor will have to be replaced. Have your brake system inspected and repaired.

Follow the flow of air from the air cleaner to the throttle body. You will see it.

Have your motor mounts inspected! I'm guessing that acceleration in park is bad too.

Raise and properly support the vehicle so that your tires are off the ground. Push and pull the tire near the area of the tie rod. There should be no movement, or play, in the tie rod end. If there is, that tie rod is bad.

Also, you may notice the rubber boot on the tie rod is torn and grease has leaked out. This is a sign that your tie rod is likely prematurely worn, or will be soon, and it needs replacing.

if you discover that a tie rod ball joint connection is bad, as described above, you should change it immediately to avoid an accident. if tie rod end ball joint connection snaps , you will lose steering in that wheel.

The shimmy sensation in a vehicles steering wheel could be from several things , but the foremost likely reason is the camber being out of adjustment, and a simple alighnment should solve the issue promptly

take off your negative post on your battry this will reset your computer box leave it off for half an hour then start the car run the air con. for 1 minute then drive the car for 20 km. this should help

what size motor do you have? for all we know it could just be some American muscle under your hood, but if not it could be a dirty fuel line add some stp gas treatment and maybe look into getting a new air filter, other then that not to sure what else it could be

there could be several reasons for this problem the most likely being an alignment problem, if it occurs only when your braking it is probably warped rotors or out of round drums depending on your braking system

bad spark plugs or wires

if the fuel filter is cheap then do it every other oil change. I do it to my diesel as well to my gas engines. You can never be to safe with fuel. anything in it can cause engine damage. Better safe than sorry. Although the manufacturer will not recommend changing it so often. I do, I have never had a fuel problem in any vehicle I have owned or helped fix throughout the years. Working on a vw 95 golf right now. Bought it for 500 bucks cause it didn't start, crank or nothing. I paid the guy and then installed a new fuel filter and pressure regulator. emptied tank and refilled. Put on some plugs and wires on vehicle. mans Jaw dropped after seeing me turn on the car and drive it away. Simple things make a car not work. you just have to simplify your thinking to understand it.

Totally up to you. it is only necessary to replace which ever one is giving you a problem. The only time i might recommend doing both would be if the y were both behind the timing belt and the sensors were known to go bad often.

Vacuum leak; there is a slight load on the engine when stopped at a light because you are in gear, there is none when in park.

You may have a problem with the track bar. Replacing the factory track bar with a larger, adjustable track bar can prevent driving problems like front-end

shaking, misaligned steering geometry and uneven tire wear.

Yes it is possible. I have a 2001 sentra and recently replaced the front right strut and coil spring. It didn't have a springing sound though, more of a clunk sound when driving over bumps and on turns. The strut was bent and the coil spring broken. Also the sway bars had play. It was safe to drive with play in the bar, but until it got new links put in, it still made the same sound.

yes and no. try checking your air filter if that's ok than your computer must be sending to much or not enough fuel to the engine.

If it is a 1996 or newer then it will have OB2. That means that a repair shop can hook up their scanner and it will tell them what the problem is. That will save you a lot of money because guessing is not a good idea.

Have it checked out by a mechanic. The most likely thing is the car just needs a good tune up to replaced plugs and wires that are wearing out.

It should shutdown on it`s high pressure safety, usually on the hottest of days when you need it most.

It could also blow the seals.

It's time for a tune-up, sounds like the engine has a miss in it.

Hydroplaning (sometimes aquaplaning) in a road vehicle is an effect similar to planing in a boat. A layer of water between the rubber tires of a road vehicle and the road surface (or between airplane wheels and the runway) reduces the friction with the tires. They stop rotating, causing the vehicle to act like an unpowered and unsteered sled. Causes of hydroplaning The engine provides power through the wheels to provide a controlled speed. The wheels also provide steering and braking through the driver controlling the angle of the wheels relative to forward motion, and through the operation of the brakes. The tread in a rubber tire is designed to remove water from beneath the tire, providing high friction with the road surface even in wet conditions. This enables friction between the wheel and the road, allowing the wheel to rotate, and to provide rolling resistance, braking and steering power. Wheeled vehicles are designed to operate properly when there is friction between the rotating wheel surface and the road. Any frictionless substance can force a vehicle to hydroplane, should the substance separate the tires from the road. In a typical hydroplaning situation, increasing water pressure in front of the wheel means that the amount of water being dispersed by the tread is less than the amount being forced under the wheel. A wedge of water is forced under the tire which is lifted on a sheet of water. The vehicle then loses braking, steering and power to the drive wheels because of loss of wheel contact with the road. The result is complete loss of normal control by the driver, and the vehicle will slide until it either collides with an obstacle or until wheel road friction is regained. The likelihood of hydroplaning increases if the momentum of the vehicle is high, the vehicle is imbalanced, the tire is underinflated, has worn tread or the water is deep. Hydroplaning is especially dangerous while the car is on Cruise Control, as the increased reaction time and lack of pedal feel can cause the car to accelerate without warning. The problem with cruise control is that it may try to accelerate while the car has uneven traction. This can cause the vehicle to veer to the low traction side. The same problem can occur if the driver uses either gas or brake under uneven traction. When braking, the car will veer to the high traction side. Two- or three-wheeled vehicles with round-profile tires, such as bicycles and motorcycles, virtually never suffer from hydroplaning in normal road use. The contact area with the road is a canoe-shaped patch which effectively squeezes water out of the way. Speeds of 200mph or more are necessary to achieve hydroplaning on narrow round-profile tires

One of the brake calipers or drums is not completely releasing. If it's a disk brake, replace the calipers. If it's a drum, check the emergency brake cable.

replace that factory carb. they are junk,dont even try to have it rebuilt,get a webber 32/36

That's often caused by a bad CV joint. Have it checked.

Yes, balancing is matching the tire to the rim. No two tires or rims are exactly the same and so balancing is always required when mounting a different tire to a rim.

Short answer is no. When the car warms up after installing the intake, take it for a drive, the mass air flow sensor will tell the computer there's more air and the computer will automatically adjust. If you reset the computer, the calibrations from all the sensors is lost and must be relearned. On some vehicles, during the relearning process, the engine may run rough and the transmission may shift harder or slip until the drive cycle is complete. Save the headache, the computer should take care of everything.
