Why Does My Vehicle Shake?
Why Does My Car Shake?
So the first question is this shaking. Does it occur when the car is sitting still or does the car have to be moving? Okay. And if it's sitting still, there's a couple of questions. Number one, does it change whether I'm in reverse or drive or neutral/park? How about with the air conditioning on? Does it get worse? And if it's moving, is there a specific speed? And how about, does the shaking change if I accelerate a little bit or I let off the gas?
Does It Change?
Next, what's the frequency of the vibration or shaking? Is it very high pitched, almost like a buzzing, or is it more of a slower cyclical kind of feeling? And does it feel like the vibration is up and down or does it kind of shake you side to side? Do the brakes affect it? Does it only happen when you're braking? And lastly, are there any specific things that affect it?
Research
Perhaps temperature outside, time of day, how long you've been driving, it happens right after you go over a bump, those sort of things. So once you have kind of narrowed it down a little bit by figuring out exactly what sort of driving conditions are required for the shake to occur, then I encourage you to find the video that we've shot that matches that to help you identify the cause.
