When your entire car is shaking, you may not know what's causing the issue or how to resolve it. The shaking can be a safety hazard and cause you to get into an accident, making it necessary to get the car diagnosed as soon as possible. Knowing some of the most common causes of a car shaking is needed to determine its cause with a technician's help. Our service team can uncover the cause of it and perform the necessary repairs in a timely manner.
Bent or Dented Axles
The axles are located directly underneath the vehicle and can suffer from damage if they contact anything in the road as you spend time getting around. The axles hold the wheels but can affect how they move if the axles aren't in the best shape. If you've been in a recent accident, it may also cause the axles to have damage. You can also look at the CV joints or driveshaft to determine if the parts are also causing the vehicle to jolt around.
Loose or Damaged Wheel Components
The wheels are one of the vehicle's main features that can affect the operation of the car, making it necessary to inspect the ball joints and wheel bearings. You can also look at the lug nuts to determine if they're tightened, or they can cause the wheels to come loose after driving for a few miles. The tire rod ends also need to be inspected to determine if they're worn down.
Worn Brakes
The brake pads on your vehicle are prone to wearing down the more you drive around and last 50,000 before they need to be replaced. Once they get too low, they can cause the vehicle to shake, specifically when you brake and they have difficulty slowing the car down. You may only need to replace the front brakes, which wear down quicker as they work harder to stop the vehicle and bear most of the weight.
Tire Problems
After inspecting the brakes, look at the tires to determine if they need to be more inflated by checking the PSI. The shaking may also be due to the tires being out of balance or requiring an alignment. A technician can examine each tire to look for any repairs that are needed.
Spark Plugs
The spark plugs may need to be replaced if they're no longer working or have been used for at least 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Look at the connections to identify any problems. The air filter makes the car shake if it's clogged and isn't allowing enough oxygen to get to the engine.
