Looseness in suspension or steering system components can cause your steering wheel to shake. Excessively worn ball joints or tie rod ends make it impossible to properly align your vehicle. Take your vehicle to a mechanic and have them inspect your ball joints and other components to help identify what is causing your steering wheel to shake.
If the vibration happens when you are driving and continues when the car is stopped with the engine running or if there is noise when the car shakes, the problem-solving focus becomes the engine and transmission.
When I was a younger driver, my mentality was always, “ignore it until it goes away”. Tens of broken components and thousands of Money later, I know this is a terrible mindset.
When it comes to a shaking car, this is a clear sign that something’s wrong. There are a lot of potential candidates that will make your car shake, but the story is the same with all of them you need to repair your car as fast as humanly possible.
Continuing to drive a shaking car can rattle items loose and make the problem worse. On top of that, the damaged component can cause lasting (and much more expensive) damage to surrounding parts of your car.
The issue might be your brake, engine, wheels, or suspension system. It could also be your fluid levels or belts. Different areas present a different type of vibration that happens in different conditions. Read my full guide to pinpoint the issue and fix it.

Then Maybe It’s Time For You To Visit The Avenue Auto Service To Get Your Suspension Systems Checked. Avenue Auto Service Is One Of The Leading Providers Of Car Suspension Repair Service In Dubai.
Your car is designed to operate on tires at a certain PSI. this pressure allows everything to work well together and provides the smoothest possible ride.
If your tires have too much or too little pressure in them, then the ride will be uneven. You won’t be driving on the complete tread, which is what you’re supposed to do.
After getting a puncture in your tire, the pressure will quickly drop. If the hole is in the right place, you can luckily repair the tire, but you’ll otherwise need to replace it.
In the case of a flat tire, you have a massively underinflated tire. You’ll feel your car vibrate and you should probably hear a rhythmic noise as you drive along.
Whenever you install a new tire on your rim, it needs to be balanced. Any imbalance will cause a rhythmic rumble and make your car shake as you drive along. This can also happen after hitting a curb or damaging your rims at all.
If the tire isn’t perfectly rounded, your car will have uneven contact with the road as you drive along.
Things like bubbles, bulges, or flat spots in your tire will cause shaking to varying levels. Any of these imperfections can destroy how your car rides.
Even worse, going too long without replacing your tire will damage the other tires on your car.
As you probably know, your car’s engine is the workhorse of the whole system. It cranks and creates the power that’s used to move your vehicle.
If your engine has enough internal damage, then you’ll probably feel something much more severe than a shake. Your engine will crash out, seize, and stop working.
Still, some minor damage to your engine’s components can destroy the motion of your engine running, creating a noticeable shake.
Your engine is mounted directly to your car with a number of bolts. These bolts are torqued to a certain force to ensure your engine is snugly mounted.
If these bolts loosen over time, there will be room for your engine to bounce around and rattle your vehicle.
There is a lot of vibration that comes from your engine when it’s running, so it’s not uncommon for these mounts to get vibrated loose over time.
There’s a little fan between the engine and the radiator. This fan pushes colder air through your engine, cooling everything down.
If this fan or fan clutch is defective, then you’ll notice shaking when the coolant level of your car reaches a certain point.
Whenever there’s a car issue, there seems to be a filter that can be blamed. In the case of a shaking car, you can look at your engine’s air filter.
If it’s clogged, then your engine won’t get enough airflow. This will cause an imbalanced air-fuel mixture which could cause misfiring or general vibrations as you drive.
The good news? This is a really easy problem to fix.
When your plugs lose their spark, you’ll get some nasty vibrations. There are a few indicators that your rough ride could be thanks to faulty spark plug
• If your car has a rough idle
• You feel vibrations when you accelerate
• It feels like you’re driving on a rumble strip at certain speeds (and it’s repeatable)
• It’s been more than 80-100,000 miles since you changed your spark plugs
Spark plugs are pretty inexpensive to pick up and the replacement process is a breeze
A dying transmission comes with a lot more than just a shake. You’ll hear loud grinding or squealing noises as you drive along.
You’ll probably also experience loss of vehicle power at random times while driving. In the case of a dying transmission, you don’t have a lot that you can do besides replace it.
If vibration is felt at certain speeds, the tires may need to be balanced. If the tires are wearing unevenly and causing the car to vibrate, the driver may need a tire rotation. In some cases, the driver may need new tires to solve the problem of vibration.
The most prevalent cause of vibration is problems with your wheels or tires. The potential problems include improper wheel and tire balance, uneven tire wear, separated tire tread, out of round tires, damaged wheels and even loose lug nuts.
Wobbles, shaking and vibrations on your car can be unnerving, but it doesn’t always indicate a serious, dangerous fault. Though we’d always recommend taking your car to a professional, here are some of the issues which could be causing it to wobble while driving.
Why is My Car Shaking? Top 7 Causes You Can’t Ignore
1: There’s a tire problem.
2: The brakes need repair.
3: Your plugs have lost their spark.
4: Your suspension system needs some TLC.
5: Worn or bent parts.
6: Low transmission fluid.
7: Worn motor mounts.
1. Flexible Engine Mount Pieces. In a sense, engine mounts are the first line of defense in suppressing engine shakes from propagating throughout the entire vehicle.
2. Body Stiffening Techniques.
3. Better Ignition Components.
4. Harmonic Balancers.
5. Active Vibration Control.
Reasons Why Your Car is Vibrating at Higher Speeds
• Your Tires Are Out of Balance. If your tires need to be balanced, you might not even notice the vibrating until you get to about 55 MPH or so.
• Low Tire Pressure.
• Uneven Tire Wear.
• Wheel Bearings.
• Tie Rod Ends.
• Ball Joints.
• An Issue with the Engine.
• Worn-Out Rotor
Stopped or Slow Speed
If you are parked or standing still at a stop light and your car is still shaking is likely something related to the engine. Worn spark plugs and wires are a common cause, but loose hoses or connections, dirty air filters, and lose timing belts are other possible causes of engine shaking
Fortunately, tires or wheels are the most likely cause of vibrations, and those are easily repaired or replaced by your repair shop
The Shaking is Your Brake Calipers Sticking
The brake calipers are responsible for pressing the brake pad against the rotor, which is caused by brake fluid pumping through the lines when you press the pedal. The fluid creates hydraulic pressure which forces the caliper to press the pads.
