Whenever you notice something regarding your vehicle is out of the ordinary, making an appointment with our service department at Van Buick GMC is a good idea. Shaking is something that many people randomly experience with little to no warning signs. Rather than ignoring this issue, have a professional figure out what needs to be repaired to rectify the shaking.

Inspecting the Engine

Our technicians will take a look at the inner workings of your engine if you report shaking occurring. Spark plugs can cause shaking when they need to be replaced. You could also have a clogged or damaged air filter that prevents the proper amount of air from coming through your engine. Spark plugs should be replaced at the 80,000-mile point anyway, and air filters last approximately 15,000 miles.

Brake Service

Your brakes are beneficial when you need to stop or slow down suddenly, but they can also cause shaking to occur if they're damaged or in need of replacement. You should plan to have your brakes service at the 50,000-mile point if you haven't had them changed already. The shaking may not be going on at all times, or you may notice that the shaking occurs when you're physically pressing down on the brake while driving.

Wheels

Properly functioning wheels can provide a smooth ride, but they can also cause your vehicle to feel like it's shaking or vibrating while in motion. This shouldn't be confused with a repetitive thudding movement, which could be due to something like a flat tire. Wobbling or shaking can indicate the need to repair your wheel bearings, ball joints, or tire rod ends. Don't put off essential repairs for your wheels. You could be putting yourself into a dangerous situation if you don't have service performed at Van Buick GMC.

Axles and CV Joints

Front and back axles exist on your vehicle, and they connect two wheels on each end of your automobile. Accidents and issues on the road can cause your axles and CV joints to become damaged, so you should keep an eye out for shaking or vibrations.

Tire Service

You should regularly check the air pressure in all four of your tires, even if your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system. We can also check to see if your tires are properly aligned and balanced. If they're not, there could be grinding occurring that's impacting your tires' smoothness as you drive.

For more information on what problems could be causing your vehicle to shake, contact our service department at your convenience. We'll set you up with an appointment for one of our experienced service technicians who can efficiently determine what's going on with your vehicle, causing shaking to occur.
