Although many different issues can develop over time while using your car, it can be unusual if the vehicle starts to shake. There are many different underlying causes of a car that starts to vibrate, making it necessary to get a mechanic's help for a proper diagnosis. You can make an appointment with our team today to resolve the problem.
The car can start to shake if the tires aren't inflated enough or if they're out of balance. They may also be out of alignment. It's essential to have a technician examine the components to determine the cause of the issue.
If the steering feels difficult to control or starts to shake as the car moves, there is likely a problem with the wheel bearings, ball joints, or the tie rod ends. Wheel issues are a point of concern and should be immediately inspected to avoid getting into an accident.
After 50,000 miles, the brake pads can become worn down and cause the vehicle to shake when you attempt to slow the car down. You may even notice some screeching coming from the tires. Typically, the front brake pads wear down quicker than the back because of the vehicle's force and weight. Hire a technician to inspect the brakes to determine if it's the cause of the shaking. Your driving habits can also cause the brake pads to wear down quicker if you drive the vehicle fast and are more aggressive with how quickly you stop the car.
The axles can become bent or damaged if you run over items in the road or if the car gets in a collision. The axles can prevent the wheels from moving straight, which causes the vehicle to shake and put your safety at risk. It may feel like the car is difficult to maneuver, and the steering wheel may feel unsteady. The CV joints and driveshaft may also be causing the problem if they're damaged.
In some cases, faulty spark plugs can also be causing the shaking if they're no longer in working order. You should take a close look at the parts and connections. Most spark plugs tend to last 80,000 to 100,000. The lifespan can also be influenced by the make and model of your car. The air filter may also cause the problem if dirt is clogging it and causing a lack of airflow. The engine may not be getting enough oxygen to operate and run correctly.
Visit our auto service center in Delray Beach today to ensure our technicians can determine the source of the shaking to restore the operation and safety of your vehicle.
