Why Does a Car Suddenly Start Shaking While Driving?
1 Answers
Sudden shaking while driving is usually caused by tire-related issues. The first possible cause is poor tire balance. Another, more serious condition could be due to deformed wheel rims. There is also a scenario where it is caused by an unbalanced or deformed drive shaft. It is recommended to contact a 4S shop for further diagnosis and repair. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Poor tire balance: The owner should promptly perform a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balance. If the vehicle does not deviate, a tire dynamic balance may suffice. 2. Deformed wheel rims: This requires the owner to visit a professional repair shop for inspection. This condition generally occurs in vehicles that have been in use for a long time. Typically, when replacing new tires or wheel rims, a tire balance should be performed. Otherwise, uneven weight distribution can easily cause the steering wheel to shake. Body shaking affects both driving comfort and handling judgment. 3. Unbalanced or deformed drive shaft: This situation is more common in vehicles that have experienced chassis collisions.
