Feeling the Shakes?

A shaking car can be more than just annoying – it can be a sign of underlying mechanical issues. Whether it's a gentle tremor or a full-blown shudder, understanding the cause is important.
- Engine Troubles:
- Worn spark plugs or clogged fuel injectors can disrupt the operation of your engine, leading to vibrations, especially at idle.
- Tire Issues:
- Unbalanced or misaligned tires can cause noticeable shaking, particularly at higher speeds.
- Worn tires, especially with uneven wear patterns, can create vibrations and affect handling.
- Underinflated tires can cause instability and exacerbate vibrations.
- Brake System Concerns:
- Uneven braking surfaces due to warped rotors can cause pulsations in the brake pedal and steering wheel.
- Suspension & Steering Problems:
- Worn ball joints, tie rods, shocks, and struts can compromise suspension stability, leading to vibrations and a rough ride.
- Exhaust System Issues:
- A loose or damaged exhaust system can create vibrations and a noticeable rattling sound.
