- Control arm bushings
- Ball joints
- Tie rod ends
- Sway bar links
- Shock absorbers/struts
- Warped brake rotors: If the brake rotors are warped, it can cause the car to shake when braking. This is a common problem that can be caused by several things, such as:
- Overheating the brake rotors
- Using the wrong type of brake pads
- Having the rotors machined incorrectly
- Installing the rotors incorrectly
- Stuck brake caliper: If a brake caliper is stuck, it can cause the brake pads to rub against the rotor, which can produce a shaking sensation. This is usually accompanied by a grinding noise and decreased brake performance.
- Improperly torqued lug nuts: If the lug nuts are not torqued to the proper torque, it can cause the wheels to move back and forth, which can produce a shaking sensation. This is a serious safety issue that can cause the lug nuts to come loose and the wheel to come off of the car.
