How to Deal with Car Vibration?
2 Answers
Common solutions for car body vibration are as follows: 1. Perform tire dynamic balancing to resolve the issue. During the balancing process, check whether the tire and rim are deformed. 2. Go to a repair shop for inspection and perform repairs based on the actual fault cause. The main reasons for car vibration are as follows: 1. Severe carbon buildup in the engine. 2. Carbon buildup on the spark plugs. 3. Unstable oil pressure. 4. Aging components. If all components are in good condition, the issue may be caused by aging engine mounts. Engine mounts are shock-absorbing components responsible for absorbing vibrations during engine operation. When they are damaged or aged, they can no longer suppress the vibrations generated by the engine. These vibrations are then transmitted to the steering wheel and cabin, causing the car body to vibrate.
I've been running an auto repair shop for over a decade and frequently encounter vehicles with vibration issues. The most common cause is engine misfire due to problems like worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils - when cylinders fail to fire properly, it causes shaking. Another frequent culprit is unbalanced tires or warped rims, which makes the car wobble side-to-side while driving. Loose suspension components or worn brake pads can also lead to vibrations. The solution is straightforward: first inspect engine compartment components, replace spark plugs or use an ignition tester. If that doesn't work, get tire balancing done (recommended every 10,000 km). Older vehicles often have deteriorated suspension bushings that need replacement, otherwise the shaking worsens over time. Safety comes first - never ignore vibrations. Have a professional inspection immediately to avoid breakdowns on the road.
