What are the causes of body shaking in a vehicle with loose brakes?

The causes of body shaking in a vehicle with loose brakes may include dirty throttle valves, faulty spark plugs, aged rubber ball joint covers, and worn brake pads. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive braking systems: 1. Overview: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. 2. Brake Pads: Automotive brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drum or brake disc of the wheel. The friction linings and blocks within them bear external pressure to create friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration.
I noticed that when the brakes are released, the car body shakes. The main reasons are often due to brake disc deformation or uneven wear. When braking, the car generates high temperatures. Frequent hard braking or overheated disc surfaces can cause unevenness over time. When releasing the brakes, these uneven spots can transmit vibrations to the car body. Additionally, poor retraction of the brake calipers may leave residual tremors, making the car feel shaky. I recommend first checking the brake disc surface for signs of wear—a simple method is to test the feel after releasing the brakes at low speed. If the shaking is severe, it's best to visit a shop for professional resurfacing or replacement of parts. After all, safety comes first. Ignoring this small issue could escalate into the danger of brake failure. Regular maintenance saves both worry and effort.
