Why does the Atenza shake at high speeds?
2 Answers
Atenza shaking at high speeds is due to engine malfunction. Here are the specific details about the Atenza: 1. Configuration: The new car comes standard with intelligent idle stop system and brake energy recovery system. The 2.5L model of the Atenza accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 8.3 seconds, with a minimum fuel consumption of 6.9 liters per 100 km under comprehensive conditions, while the 2.0L model has a fuel consumption of only 6.3 liters per 100 km. 2. Appearance: It adopts Mazda's KODO design philosophy, with a U-shaped front face and LED headlights, giving it a stronger sporty feel. The new car features an 11-speaker audio system. Compared to the previous generation Mazda6, the Atenza's wheelbase has been increased by 107mm, providing more spacious rear seating. The Atenza utilizes the SKYACTIV-Chassis technology, equipped with high-performance MacPherson independent front suspension + multi-link independent rear suspension, achieving both weight reduction and increased rigidity through structural optimization.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the high-speed vibration in an Atenza is usually a wheel balancing issue. Especially when the speed exceeds 100 km/h, if the steering wheel starts to shake, it's mostly due to unbalanced tires or deformed rims. Just the other day, my friend's car had this issue, and it was solved by adding a small counterweight to the right front wheel. Additionally, worn drive shafts can transmit vibrations to the chassis, and aging suspension bushings can amplify this sensation, leading to uneven tire wear over time. If you frequently drive on rough roads, prioritize checking these mechanical components. Getting a four-wheel alignment at the repair shop early can prevent safety hazards. High-speed vibration is no small matter—don't delay the necessary checks.
