Can the car still be driven if it's shaking?
1 Answers
Normally, a car should run smoothly without significant shaking when idling or driving. If noticeable shaking is felt but the warning light is not on, you can continue driving at a lower speed and head to a repair shop as soon as possible to diagnose the cause of the shaking. However, if the car shakes violently, makes unusual noises, and the warning light comes on, you should stop immediately and call for assistance. Below are the reasons for car shaking: 1. Shaking during startup is mainly due to insufficient fuel combustion, resulting in inadequate power. 2. Causes of idle shaking include severe engine carbon buildup, ignition system issues, unstable oil pressure, and aging engine components. 3. The most common reasons for high-speed shaking are tire-related issues, such as incorrect tire pressure, abnormal tire wear, rim deformation, shock absorber failure, tire imbalance, and significant wheel alignment deviations.
