- Misaligned wheels can cause the car to shake, especially at higher speeds.
2. Tire Issues:
- If your tires are unbalanced, worn unevenly, or have a damaged sidewall, they can cause vibrations.
3. Brake Problems:
- Damaged or warped rotors or unevenly worn brake pads can lead to shaking, particularly when braking.
4. Driveshaft Issues:
- A damaged driveshaft can cause vibrations.
5. Engine Mounts:
- Worn or broken engine mounts can allow the engine to move excessively, resulting in shaking.
6. Transmission Problems:
- A faulty transmission can also cause shaking.
7. Worn Suspension Components:

8. Steering Problems:
- Worn steering components, like loose tie rods or ball joints, can cause shaking, particularly when turning.
9. Wheel Bearings:
- Worn wheel bearings can generate shaking or humming sounds.
10. Driveshaft Alignment:

11. Balancing Props:
- This only applies if your car has one, but unbalanced propelling devices like propeller shafts or propeller shafts can cause shaking.
12. Faulty Engine Components:
