The reasons for car shaking at speeds between 80 to 100 km/h are: 1. Unbalanced wheels: Poor wheel balance, abnormal tire wear, or damaged components; 2. Loose suspension: Loose suspension or incorrect wheel alignment, requiring inspection of engine rubber mounts, shock absorbers, and suspension bushings for damage; 3. Warped brake rotors: If shaking occurs during braking, it may be due to uneven brake rotor surfaces, which can be resolved by resurfacing the rotors. Solutions for car shaking: 1. Check the motor: Clean the fuel system and inspect the idle motor for carbon buildup, which should be cleaned if necessary; 2. Inspect spark plugs: Check the condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils, and replace spark plugs if excessive carbon buildup is found.

When I experienced shaking at speeds between 80 to 100 km/h while driving, I pondered for quite a while. The most common issue lies with the tires, such as wheel imbalance, where the high centrifugal force at highway speeds causes wobbling. Additionally, uneven tire wear or bulging can also cause this. Last time I checked, I found worn spots on the tires and immediately replaced them with new ones. Aging suspension systems are also quite common; worn-out springs or shock absorbers can transmit vibrations to the car body. Warped brake rotors are another suspect, especially noticeable after hard braking. I suggest not ignoring it, as shaking can easily make the car unstable and affect safety. It's best to go to a tire shop for a wheel balance and four-wheel alignment—it doesn't cost much but is very effective. Regularly check the condition of your tires to avoid problems before long trips.

To be honest, vibrations in the 80-100 km/h speed range are often a sign of mechanical issues. Unbalanced tires and rims are the main culprits, as centrifugal force at high speeds can cause the entire car to shake. Problems with suspension components, such as leaking shock absorbers or loose linkages, can also amplify vibrations. Brake system deformities, like uneven rotors, can trigger high-frequency tremors too. Don’t overlook the drive shaft—worn ball joints or universal joints can cause instability during acceleration. Long-term neglect may lead to frame deformation or even wheel misalignment. I recommend using professional equipment for diagnosis, such as a wheel balancer, to quickly pinpoint the issue. Timely repairs can improve driving comfort and fuel efficiency. Regularly checking tire wear is a good habit.

The car shakes at speeds between 80 to 100 km/h, don't worry too much, I've experienced similar situations myself. It's often a tire issue, such as imbalance or sidewall indentations, causing unstable wheel rotation at high speeds. The suspension could also be problematic, as worn-out springs fail to absorb shocks, transmitting them into the cabin. Slightly warped brake discs are also common, especially noticeable after hard braking. This affects ride comfort, particularly when driving with kids as the car wobbles noticeably. It's advisable to first inspect the tire's exterior for any abnormal wear or bulges. If anything seems off, head to a repair shop promptly—safety comes first. Don't delay too long to prevent minor issues from escalating.

Experiencing vibrations at speeds between 80 to 100 km/h during racing is such a buzzkill! I've researched this issue, and the most common culprit is tire imbalance—when wheels spin at high speeds, they wobble like they're dancing. A weak suspension system can also exacerbate the problem, such as when worn-out shock absorbers transmit vibrations. Issues with the drive shaft or transmission components are even more dangerous, as worn universal joints often cause frequent shaking during acceleration. Modified cars are particularly prone to this, with vibrations becoming more noticeable with larger wheels or lowered bodies. Regular maintenance of the suspension and wheels, including balancing, can help alleviate the issue. Don't forget that aging tires degrade in performance, so replace them promptly to avoid high-speed accidents. Drive steadily and enjoy the thrill of speed.

What is the principle of the Atkinson cycle engine?

The working principle of the Atkinson cycle engine is to extend the power stroke and shorten the compression stroke, making the expansion ratio greater than the compression ratio, thereby more effectively utilizing the residual high pressure of the exhaust gas after combustion. The fuel and air mixture burns, generating heat energy, and the gas expands when heated, converting into mechanical energy through mechanical devices to perform external work. Below is more information about the Atkinson cycle engine: 1. Introduction: The Atkinson cycle engine improves efficiency but reduces power density, with the drawback of lower efficiency and poorer torque at low speeds. 2. Application: The Atkinson cycle engine is currently used in some hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles are those powered by two or more energy sources, and the drive system can have one or more sets. Common energy sources include fuel, batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, compressed gas, etc., while common drive systems include technologies such as internal combustion engines, electric motors, and turbines.

What to Do If a Small Piece of the Wheel Hub Is Chipped?

The solution for a small chip in the wheel hub is: 1. Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out the details. After leveling, fill the scratch with alloy putty; 2. After filling, use an angle grinder to further smooth any remaining uneven parts; 3. Once the surface is treated, apply paint. If the surface has a metal-brushed wheel hub, use a wheel hub brushing machine for precision processing; 4. After the primer dries, apply a clear coat for protection and bake it dry in an oven at high temperature; 5. Finally, use a polisher with both coarse and fine polishing compounds for the final smoothing of the wheel hub. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected by pillars to the wheel core, i.e., the metal component that supports the center of the tire mounted on the axle, also known as the rim, steel ring, or wheel.

How to enable the automatic locking function for Honda CR-V?

Honda CR-V does not come with an automatic locking function; additional equipment needs to be installed to achieve this. Below are specific details about the automatic locking function: 1. Purpose: The automatic locking function is designed for theft prevention. It activates when the vehicle reaches a certain speed (around 15km/h) after starting, preventing door pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, thereby providing a certain level of security. Drivers should always enhance their proactive safety awareness by locking the doors immediately after entering the vehicle and before driving. It is also a good habit to activate the central locking system when transitioning from complex urban roads to ring roads, closed roads, expressways, or highways. 2. Advantages: It offers protection for passengers with children inside the vehicle, preventing young children from opening the door handles while the car is in motion.

What Type of Fuel Does the Volkswagen Beetle Use?

Imported German Volkswagen Beetle sedans use 97-octane (95-octane in the capital) gasoline. There are three engine options available for users: 1.2T, 1.4L, and 2.0T, with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty policy. Gasoline Octane Rating: It represents the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. A higher octane rating is not necessarily better; the appropriate gasoline grade should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. Introduction to the Volkswagen Beetle: The Volkswagen Beetle (officially named Volkswagen Type 1) is a compact car produced by Volkswagen (translated as Fuk's Motor Factory in Hong Kong) from 1938 to 2003.

Does a noisy outer CV joint always need replacement?

Outer CV joint noise always requires replacement. If a CV joint produces abnormal noises, it indicates the joint is already damaged and needs repair or replacement. In the early stages of outer CV joint damage, the noise typically occurs only during turns but not when driving straight. Initially, the damaged CV joint only produces noise without affecting driving performance. However, if not repaired or replaced promptly, the condition will progressively worsen until the CV joint fails completely, rendering the vehicle inoperable. Therefore, timely replacement is recommended. Relevant information about CV joints is as follows: 1. Introduction: CV joint generally refers to a constant-velocity joint. A constant-velocity joint connects two shafts that have an angle between them or changing relative positions, allowing them to transmit power at the same angular velocity. It overcomes the unequal velocity problem inherent in ordinary cross-type universal joints. 2. Classification: The most widely used constant-velocity joints currently are mainly the ball-and-trunnion type and the Rzeppa (ball-and-cage) type.
