Why Is My Car Shaking
Reasons why your car is shaking includes the following;
Worn Suspension System
When you drive your vehicle into a bad road with potholes or bumps, the suspension system allows your car to handle these effects.
A worn suspension system is one of the reasons your car is shaking. The shock absorbers often worn out over time and if not changed would lead to a shaking car.
Worn Breaking System
The breaking system (break pads and break discs) provide balance to your vehicle. The break pads applies a frictional force by rubbing against the break discs when you press the brake pedals.
A worn out breaking system (break pad or break disc) can lead to an unbalance and a shaking car when you press the brake pedals due to lack of friction. The breaking system can worn out from heat, and corrosion(water and air)
Wheel Problem
After a major repair work or overhaul of the wheels, Ball joint, tie rod and lower arm you will notice that your car starts shaking and an uneven rotation the that can cause your car to start changing lanes while driving. This is a sign your car needs a wheel alignment and balancing.
Worn Engine Mount
The engine mount holds the car engine to the chassis and it absorbs vibration from the engine when working.
A worn engine mount can cause a reason your car is shaking due to vibration from the unbalanced engine. Check the engine mount for wear and rust. Simply replace a worn engine mount and ensure the bolts are tightly screwed.
Engine Misfire

Faulty Transmission
