What Causes a Car to Shake at High Speeds?
1 Answers
Shaking at high speeds is generally caused by component failures or loose assembly leading to body resonance. Here are some common reasons for car shaking: 1. Uneven brake disc surface: Excessive radial runout caused by uneven braking force or misaligned brake pads. 2. Excessive tire pressure: When driving at high speeds on uneven roads, the vehicle shakes noticeably, making it easy for the driver to feel body vibration and pulling. 3. Severe tire wear: Significant imbalance due to uneven wear or large dynamic imbalance causes tires to bounce at high speeds, resulting in body vibration. 4. Engine issues: Usually caused by fuel quality or ignition problems. At high speeds and under heavy load, fuel quality and ignition determine power output. If either is abnormal, it can lead to engine weakness and shaking.
