If you're driving your vehicle and start to experience shaking or vibrations in the floor or steering wheel, it's a good idea to bring your vehicle into Husker Cadillac as soon as possible. We want our technicians to ensure that there's nothing serious going on with your automobile that could compromise its safety. This is a problem that we see more often than you think, so we know exactly where to look when you complain of shaking.
There needs to be adequate airflow through your vehicle's engine to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Improper airflow can be the result of a clogged air filter. You could also be experiencing problems with your spark plugs. Repairs or replacement usually need to be done to your spark plugs around the 80,000 to 100,000-mile mark.
When you press down on the brake pedal, you should experience a smooth slow down or stop. If this is the point where you're experiencing the shaking, then brake pads could be to blame. Most makes and models of vehicles need new brake pads around the 50,000-mile mark. Your driving habits could also affect this time frame.
There are a lot of issues that can occur with your wheels that can result in shaking. You may feel the shaking through the floorboards of your automobile, but the steering wheel may also shake when you have wheel concerns. We'll inspect your tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings, and much more.
Shaking can occur when the axles on your vehicle are bent, damaged, or in need of repair. You may have only one axle that is damaged, and this can cause intermittent shaking. You may also find that the shaking gets worse when you're in the process of accelerating. We'll also look at your CV joints and driveshaft to see if there are issues here.
Tires require a bit of maintenance and repairs to provide you with that smooth ride that you crave. We recommend a routine alignment every so often, along with an inspection to determine if your vehicle needs to be balanced from a tire perspective. We'll show you how to check your tires for proper air pressure as well. This is something your vehicle may monitor for you, but it's a good idea to check your air pressure yourself if you start to experience something like shaking.
