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.
