I hear this from customers all the time; they pull into the garage and say, 'I need to have an alignment on my car because my steering wheel shakes when I drive on the highway.' The truth is an alignment has nothing to do with your car shaking or your steering wheel vibrating. If you tell your mechanic you need an alignment and they don't ask why, find a new mechanic.

A good mechanic will always ask why you need work done on your car so they can get enough information to decide how to fix the problem on the first visit. Mechanics use these words to refer to different operations, though sometimes you get them both done at once. AlignmentAlignments only realign the tires so they are all pointing in the proper direction while driving down the road. If a car’s tires need alignment, it may pull one way or the other instead of straight when you let go of the steering wheel, or the tires may wear unevenly (deeper on the inside than the outside or vice versa).Alignment is something you might do routinely every year or so. It won't stop a steering wheel vibration, but it's good preventative maintenance, especially if you often drive on potholed, cracked, or dirt roads. BalanceIf a car's tires need balancing, on the other hand, it may shake at freeway speed, or the tires may wear in a cupped or scalloped pattern. Balancing a tire means making sure the weight of the tire-and-wheel unit is balanced all around the axle, with every section having equal weight.The first step in balancing a tire is to match the heaviest part of the rim (usually the valve stem) to the lightest part of the rim (a yellow dot painted by the manufacturer on the tire's sidewall).

Then the mechanic places the tire and rim on a balance machine, which positions plastic or metal weights as needed on the outer part of the rim to fine-tune the balance.Balancing is something you might do routinely whenever you rotate the tires, every six months or 6,000–7,500 miles. Sometimes tire stores will offer you lifetime tire balancing and rotation. I highly recommend this service. Checking the tires routinely to see if they are wearing oddly will make them last longer and cost you less in the long run. Another common cause of steering wheel vibration or car shake is having something lodged in a tire, like a large bolt, or any metal object you may have picked up from the road's surface (I have seen even wrenches and screwdrivers impaling a tire).If you live in an area that has snow, plowing through a snowbank could cause snow and ice to become trapped in the rim or wheel and cause a serious steering wheel vibration.

Luckily, this is easy to fix: Just rinse out the snow and ice with a garden hose or pressure washer. In addition to being a common cause of steering wheel vibration or car shake, low tire pressure can cause the following problems:.

poor fuel mileage. abnormal tire wear. vibrations.

blowouts. tire-edge wear. chopping or scallopingAnd the list goes on. A quick check of your tire pressures can save you money in the long run, in many ways.In cold weather, tire pressures drop. When the temperatures outside drop below 30˚F, I recommend raising the tire pressure about 3 psi above where you would normally keep it. If your tires are so worn that the ridges on the tread are smoothed out or steel fibers are showing through the rubber anywhere, change your tires immediately.

Bald tires will definitely cause your steering wheel to vibrate and your car to shake. Furthermore, if you continue driving on bald tires, they are likely to blow out, and having a tire blow out at highway speeds is extremely dangerous, especially if it's a front tire.Don't be afraid to look at your tires to see if bald tires are causing your problems. You need to physically look at each tire. Turning the steering wheel to one side will give you a better view of the tread surface on your front tires.

You will need to get on your hands and knees to check your rear tires closely. Your mechanic says you need a wheel bearing, what's a wheel bearing?

Pictures, video, and discussion of what a wheel bearing is, what its job is, where it's located, and the noises it can make. Learn how to change a front wheel bearing with a step-by-step guide with photos and a video. What a damaged wheel bearing sounds like and how to determine which wheel bearing is causing the noise. There are four common car noises that drive a vehicle owner crazy. I will explain to you what they are and what you need to do to fix them.

Plus a little secret that you should know when buying a new car. Grinding, thumping, squeaking, and scraping. The first thing to check is the wheel lug nut torque just to be on the safe side. The most common cause of vibration on acceleration is the inner CV joints. When the CV joints have play or looseness, it can vibrate on acceleration.

If the CV joints are ok, have the front suspension checked for any loose or worn ball joints or tie rod ends. If the front suspension is tight, it's possible your tires are the cause, especially if they are cheap tires. I recommend bringing it back to the place you bought it and have a mechanic go for a ride with you so you can point out the problem, if they are reputable they will most likely fix it for you. Hope this helps. Question:I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado. There is front end vibration at all speeds.

It idles from fifteen to thirty miles an hour, and feels like I have an egg for a tire. There is a horrible vibration while driving Highway speeds; sixty to seventy-five miles an hour. I checked the tires and rotated them, but there's no difference. I also replaced both front wheel bearing hubs.

I went down and replaced the front differential fluid and a bunch of metal on the magnet. Then, I noticed the CV axles leaking. The truck needs tie rods, ball joints and alignment, but could that be the cause of the vibration? Question:I took my 2006 ford ranger RWD for alignment a few weeks ago. They mentioned play in the wheels, and I should have the wheel bearings replaced. After I told them I had replaced the front bearings a few weeks back, they said I should just loosen the adjusting nut.

I hand tightened the nut next day and rotated my nondirectional tires in a nondirectional pattern, but they had only been rotated directionally before. My steering wheel started vibrating today. I don't hear the wheel bearing noise, thoughts?

Please read my comment. I drive my 2016 camry for rideshare company and i realize that i hit lots of patholes and i need to mentenance sooner than others but i was in shop and balanced tires. When i left i tested on highway and it was still vibrating little bit. I drove to another city 50 miles away. I was going 85 80 75. When i was coming back shaking went worse and i reduced speed to 65. I went to tire shop and they said needed to balacne again because machine still was showing numbers instead of zeros and rebalanced and it got shake again.

Even feel 25mph on new roads. Steering wheel doesn't shake visible but vibration makes me tired. I changed rims tires and it still does the same thing.

When i left tire shop car is smooth. After 1 week it gives you hand massage,it shakes too much and botle or cup in cup holders are about to jump. When i brake it shakes more i tested rotors on highway and definitely need to change. It gets too hot and cant touch brake pedal after couple brakes on high speed. Is the reason is brakes while driving or is something wrong with tires.

Chrysler 200 Shaking At Idle Work

It looks like when i left shop balance is good and after few days without hitting a pothole car makes vibration and after balance probpem is solve for another few days. I took my 19 Toyota Camry to service for the first time over the weekend. It took less than an hour as they only did rotate the tires and checked the fluid levels etc.I realized while driving on highway there is a very little shaking/ vibrating after passing 80 mph. I noticed this after they rotate the tires. It is very little but still noticeable. Car is only on 5k miles so it`s not normal and I think they rotated the tires but not balanced it properly.

I am really not a fan of taking my car service even though it has toyota care on it, but i realized every time i get there, they try to up sell me extra service or something wrong happens to my car afterwards.Did anyone else have similar experience steering wheels shaking after rotation? Should i take it back and have them rotate properly. Hi,I have a 2006 mazda 3 and I experience intermittent vibration/shimmy of the steering wheel while at highway speeds.

Often times I'll get onto the highway and up to speed (70mph) without any vibration or perhaps only the slightest almost imperceptible amount. Then while travelling at the same speed and going around a curve on the highway the steering wheel will start shimmying significantly and continue to shimmy after returning to a straight section of the road.If i reduce speed it lessons and disappears and will return if I regain speed.Going around another curve at the same speed will sometimes stope the vibration or sometimes have no effect.The tires are Michelin with about 10k miles one them. I've head the alignment checked and it is ok.

While checking the alignment the shop inspected the ball joints and tie rods and looked ok. I've pulled off the wheels and rotors, cleaned the contact surfaces and reassembled without any change.Your thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!. Hi Eddie,Came across this helpful topic while on the hunt for my own car's fix.I have a 2015 pulsar with 17' alloys.3 are perfectly fine but the driver side previously had a puncture which was repaired with one of those rubber seals. When inflated to standard pressure (33psi) deflates to 26 (cold) within 24 hours and remains there and does not go any further (even after weeks).My issue is that when driving above 90km/h on smooth roads, I get a weird vibration (not steering wheel, more like body of car) every 2 seconds that only lasts about 1/2 sec.Should I just fix the puncture with one of those goop/tyreweld things or should I just get a new tyre altogether? Is this 7 psi pressure difference in 1 wheel likely to cause the above vibration?Thanks,Andrew. Ok i have been going thru front tires every 1000 miles or so. The car vibrates at highway speed and wanders.

Passenger side front tire wears evenly but drivers front wears the outside more but rest of the tire wears evenly. Ex husband said could be tierods and ball joints. This is a 2001 kia sephia. These are new tires that are 45000 mile tires.

Every 1000 miles is drastic and i drive 300 miles a week. Also steering wheel is crooked. The wandering worries the most of all especially since i got pulled over cause the car crossed the center line. Hi again Eddie. I took my truck back.

They took a look at the tires and said nothing was wrong. There was nothing wrong with the tires. I forgot to mention it's a 2001 tacoma with wheel spacers (i think 1.5in). Also has a 3 inch lift.

I was thinking it could be the wheel spacers or maybe the bolts on the rims. I brought it to another place and they said it could be my rims. They said that because of the shape of the rims, that they can be hard to balance/not precise enough which could be causing the wheel shaking. I'm not sure what to think. My step dad and I have thought of everything and brought it to 15 places probably. I just want to be able to drive it on the highway without the steering wheel shaking, as simple as that may seem. Is there anything else that could be the problem?

My step dad thinks that it could be the ball joints or a bushing on the front end on the ball joint assembly or control arm. Let me know what you think.Thanks. Hi, I have a 2011 Kia Soul +. It is in mint condition and recently, I have a vibration felt through the right front tire while car i in park, with engine running. The other tires do not have any vibration running through them.

When I accelerate, the vibration can be felt through the steering wheel and floor mostly. Shifts perfect in all gears and has new cooper tires on. Brakes, rotors and front components have been replaced in the past 6 months. The vibration is felt through front passenger tire only at idle while car is running.

Tire place said wheel bearing had slight play in it as well as torque strut (mount).but could a torque strut cause vibration in the tire at idle??. I have a 2018 chevy equinox and my tire pressure started getting low in one of my tires. I thought it was because it was one of the coldest days we have had so far but the PSI still continued to drop from 36 psi to 17 psi over night. I would put air in it and I noticed when I got on the highway it would wobble, not much but I could tell the difference. Nothing visable puncturing the tire. We put fix a flat in the tire and it did hold the air over night but I still noticed the wobble when I got on the highway again.

Do you know what this could possible be from?. I have a 2004 Saturn Ion 2, stick shift, I just purchased on the 11th. Has great tires on back and 2 new ones on front put on the day I purchased it. It made a single clunk/deep pop sound 1 1/2 weeks ago when I turned my steering wheel to back into a parking spot. It only done it a few times after that with sudden or good amount of a turn but now it's more often when turning to park so I'd say about half turn, but still only a single clunk noise. Also at high speeds the wheel starts to vibrate then shake about 65 or higher. Really hoping it's not the CV or tie rod ends but what do you think?.

Chrysler 200 Shaking At Idle Control

I recently bought a 2003 Murano. The other day I was going about 40 mph and all of the sudden it felt like I had a flat tire. Pulled off the road and looked at all my tires and they were all fine. Got back in my car with it idling and it wasn't making any noises. Put it in reverse to try to drive it again and it wasn't acting like it had a flat tire in reverse. Put it in drive to start driving it again got up to about 10-15 mph and it started doing it again. So I had it towed home.

The next day I had it towed to a mechanic and they seem to think? It's my transfer case? Is there anything that would cause it to act like it has a flat tire when driving forward but not in reverse and not while idling?. Hi there,I have a 2014 Honda Civic, I’ve brought it to the dealership numerous times regarding a intermittent rattle type sound from the hood (I think), my car is shaking and I can feel every single bump I drive over, there is also loud sounds from the hub caps being very loose. The sound from the engine comes at 1500 rpm mostly and it’s a CVT automatic.

Last year the shop replaced a pressure sensor gauge that had caused my transmission to leak out. My car feels very unsafe and I notice it is worse in the snow.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this noise and uneasy drive.Fuel economy seems badCar seems unstableAcceleration is laggingOdd soundsAnd the passenger seat and passenger side mirror seem to shakeThe steering wheel has a slight vibration with acceleration as well as the gas petal.I just don’t understand what it could be, thank you!.

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee was one of 10 FCA models ranked worst in reliability JeepAuto writers aren’t necessarily known for their humor, but there is one funny joke that used to rattle around the workplace. It went like this:Writer 1: What are you working on today?Writer 2: Well, it’s Friday, so I have to prep a story about the next recall.As recently as 2015, you could set your calendar by the fact that a new Chrysler Group vehicle would get recalled, and it’s only a small exaggeration to say it happened every week. FCA showed improvements in its total number of recalls for 2016, but that legacy of below-average reliability persists.The from 2016 illustrate what a tough time FCA has had in recent years. When the testing agency examined data from its road tests, consumer surveys, and safety rankings, Fiat Chrysler brands fared terribly. Fiat (worst), Jeep (second-worst), and Chrysler (fifth-worst) dominated the list of underachievers.

Chrysler 200 Shaking At Idle Valve

Meanwhile, Dodge ranked sixth among the bottom of the auto industry barrel.Consumer Reports 2016 reliability ratings suggest these results were no fluke. Any way you break down the stats (i.e., by all vehicles, by segment, by brand), a Fiat Chrysler nameplate underperformed most of the competition. Here are the 10 FCA vehicles that ranked worst-in-class among new models in the 10 non-luxury segments. Dodge Grand Caravan Among minivans, Dodge Grand Caravan landed the lowest scores for reliability DodgeConsumer Reports could hardly. The testing agency considered it inadequate as a family road-trip machine on several fronts. Everything from its “lousy” fuel economy to its “thin, low, and uncomfortable seats” and poor safety ratings doomed the Grand Caravan.

As the worst in reliability among every model in the minivan class, consumers have far better options available. You might start with the well-reviewed. Jeep Renegade Renegade is one of five Jeep models that got poor reliability ratings JeepWhile the subcompact SUV class continues growing, Fiat Chrysler has the two least reliable models of the bunch. We’ll start with Renegade, the that ranked much worse than the competition.

Consumer Reports testers did not like the “jittery” ride, weak powertrain, or uncomfortable seating with this one. If the brand’s previous models are any indication, you can expect recalls at some point down the road.3. Ram 2500 The Ram 2500 wins on comfort but loses on dependability RamThere was plenty of positive stuff written about Ram 2500, but Consumer Reports offered up a laundry list of trouble spots for the heavy duty truck. Testers found issues with the power equipment, emissions controls, four-wheel-drive components, and other sensors. Steering vibrations were also common during the tests.

Among pickup trucks on the U.S. Market, Ram 2500 was the worst in terms of reliability.4. Jeep Grand Cherokee 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee JeepAll things considered, had many great features when Consumer Reports weighed in on the latest model.

However, because of its “well-below average” reliability — worst overall in the midsize SUV class — it is not recommended to any new car buyer. Overall, it didn’t score as poorly as Jeep Renegade, but it was close enough. Jeep buyers should be handy with a wrench (or know someone who is) if they choose any of the brand’s models new.5. Dodge Charger As large sedans go, Dodge Charger is a loser in reliability ratings DodgeLike some of the other Fiat Chrysler cars Consumer Reports panned for reliability, Dodge Charger got a decent review from testers. Yet once you spend a year or so with it, you start encountering its flaws on a regular basis. According to the data, Charger was well below the best examples of the large sedan class. ( scored highest in reliability.) Avoid this one if you hate visits to the repair shop.

Jeep Cherokee Among small SUVs on the market, Jeep Cherokee rated worst in its class JeepWhile Grand Cherokee had its pluses to go along with the minuses, the smaller Jeep Cherokee rated poorly almost across the board. Consumer Reports thumped the small SUV for its “unrefined” character, its terrible fuel economy, “jittery” ride, and “not very responsive” auto transmission. Oh, and it has problems that start appearing from the day you drive it off the lot. Reliability ranked worst in the compact SUV class. Fiat 500X 2016 FIat 500X Fiat ChryslerWhile the Fiat brand ranked worst overall in reliability, there was only model that took last place in its segment. (Fiat only has four vehicles available in America.) That honor belonged to 500X, the bloated crossover that starts at around $20,000. You might need those initial savings to keep this car on the road, apparently.

Consumer Reports found issues with 500X’s “idle vibration,” poor visibility, “touchy” brake system, among. Only Jeep Renegade, which it shares a platform with, was worse in reliability for the subcompact class. Jeep Compass 2016 Jeep Compass JeepAs the worst-rated compact SUV Consumer Reports tested (a score of 47), you should not expect decent performance in any area from a Jeep Compass. It scored much worse than the competition in the reliability department while getting demerits for its noisy engine and “unimpressive” handling.

Add in a “claustrophobic” cabin and poor visibility and you have a terrible report from the testing agency. Compass’s profile does not do it any favors, either.9. Chrysler 200 2016 Chrysler 200S ChryslerJust about every reviewer who tested the Chrysler 200 had about it, and consumers slammed it in the JD Power Initial Quality Study, too. When Consumer Reports devoted a paragraph to this lemon, the staff came out swinging: You’ll read about its “clumsy” handling, “rough and unsettled” ride, “underwhelming” four-cylinder engine, and status as “a reliability albatross.” (No, tell us how you really feel.) As the worst rated sedan in the midsize class, the 200’s poor reliability was just one of its problems.

Jeep Wrangler Wrangler is as unreliable as it is unsafe Fiat ChryslerThough it’s hard to miss, we’ll point out that this list contains a Jeep model every other entry. The total tally is five of the 10 least reliable vehicles available in America. Jeep Wrangler, like so many other models produced by the brand, scored “much worse than average” in reliability. Consumer Reports described it as “uncivilized,” “unsettled,” and “seriously outdated” while pointing out its “clumsy” handling and “uncomfortable” ride character. It’s also among. A new model is en route for 2018 — we’ll see if it can improve on the Wrangler’s current situation.Source:Follow Eric on Twitter.
