What are the solutions to car resonance?
2 Answers
Car resonance refers to the phenomenon where the vehicle's vibration frequency reaches the resonant frequency when driving at a certain speed, causing severe shaking of the car body. The solutions to car resonance are as follows: 1. Method one: Replace the engine mounts to try to reduce resonance. 2. Method two: Adjust the connection points of the chassis subframe to reduce resonance. 3. Method three: Perform overall maintenance and servicing of the engine to reduce resonance caused by operating conditions. 4. Method four: Apply sound insulation and vibration damping treatment to the engine front axle to achieve resonance reduction.
I experienced a resonance issue while driving, which occurred when accelerating to around 70 km/h on the highway. The steering wheel and seats started vibrating intensely, making me feel very uncomfortable. Later, I took the car to a repair shop, and the mechanic quickly identified the problem as a tire imbalance—it turned out that some mud was stuck on the wheels or the wear was uneven, causing increased shaking at high speeds. He rebalanced all four tires for me, and the vibrations disappeared immediately. He also recommended regularly checking tire pressure and wear conditions, as well as getting a wheel alignment every quarter to avoid similar issues. Additionally, aging suspension bushings can also cause resonance, especially in older vehicles. My experience is that resonance should never be ignored, as it can accelerate component wear and, over time, potentially damage the suspension or drivetrain. It also increases driver fatigue and affects driving safety. Regular maintenance is key, and a quick visual check of tire condition before each drive can help prevent resonance.
