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.

Why Car vibrates at high speeds but quits when put in neutral?

It's not the tires. This is how you eliminate the possiblity of tires being the cause of high speed shakes. It's in the drive train some where. What year, make and model and how many miles? Maybe cv shafts if it's a front wheel drive car......need more info.

What could cause the a truck to shake when applying the brakes on a 1998 dodge ram?

Warped rotors or drums and also have the front end checked as well as bearings. Warped rotors being number one, if it's in the steering wheel. If it's more in the seat concentrate on the rear brakes system.

Why does your car shakes at low speed 15mph-30mph even after alignment and balancing?

there are several things that can make it shake.

bad wheel bearings will do it. jack up the front and hug the wheel, and try to jiggle it. if there is any noise, or movement, they need to be replaced.. (note.. this will only work if the bearing is through the bushing in the hub, if it is not, the bushing will take up the slack, and you wont be able to hear or feel it.)

warped brake rotors will also do it. (jack up the car, and give each wheel a spin.. ..slowly.. you will see if it is rubbing. sometimes you can hear it too.. )

sometimes.. you can bend a rim, not so much the side to side, but the up and down, thinking of a warped record, where it still lies perfectly flat, and the wheel will align right, but like that record, the needle goes side to side like crazy... that wheel will too. it will make it shake.

also sometimes, and this is rare, but you can bend a drive shaft, or a half shaft, and it will also make it shake. cv joints going out will also make a slight shake, but you will hear it also.

Changed spark plugs now engine light is on and big loss of power?

Several possible issues; most probable is that you didn't seat all of the plug wires completely, second is that you didn't return the spark plug wires to the same plug/cylinder they were on before and third, one of the new plugs could be bad (not probable but I had it happen once). To check the individual plugs, remove and replace the wires one at a time with engine off. Make sure you push them all the way on! To check for a bad plug there are 2 methods. The easiest and MOST DANGEROUS is you can remove the wires one at a time while the engine is running. BE CAREFUL, the voltage on new cars is very high and can give you a real jolt OR WORSE. I use long pliers with good insulated handles (plus rubber soled shoes, don't touch any metal on the car and make sure you aren't standing in water) but YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN ON THIS ONE! The second would be to take one of your old plugs that you know works (albeit not that well) and use it in place of your new plugs one at a time. If you replace a new plug with the old one, and the roughness stops, that would be the bad plug. Take it back and get a new one. A final possibility is that you have bad wires that were disturbed by the plug changing. The easiest way to check for bad wires is to spray water (gentle spray) on the wires at nigh (in the dark). Bad wires and insulation will look like a Christmas Tree!

What causes shaking in your front suspension when you go over 50 mph?

Usually it's caused by an out of balance tire/wheel. If that's not it, you could have a defective tire or bent component.

What causes a bent wheel rim?

You've hit and run over something with the car.

Why does apartments tow a car with flat tire broken windows and not used what problem do they have with my car?

Because they don't want the place to look like a trailer park. For them to make $$$, they have to show apartments to prospective tenants...in order to rent them out. No one wants to live in a place that looks like a junkyard, or in a place where the next episode of 'Cops' will be filmed, except for trailer trash like yourself. You are obviously not a very bright person.

Why does my 2003 Chevy Siverado 1500 shake at 60 MPH?

Usually that's caused by tires that are out of balance or bent rims.

Why a car shakes when it drives?

Typically it means that SOMETHING is "out of balance", and when a wheel, tire, shaft or other spinning component moves, the balance issue is greatly accentuated.

In order of probability:

# Tires are out of balance # Wheel is bent # Drive shaft or "Half shaft" is bent or a bearing or u-joint is worn. However...

if the shaking only occurs when you touch the brakes, it's probably a warped brake rotor, which is a common cause of shaking, especially in the steering wheel.

Some people will tell you that the shaking is caused by a worn suspension part or worn shock absorbers, but if everything is balanced properly, neither of those two problems will CAUSE the shaking, they will, however, make the shaking worse if there are other balance issues.
