Match the shake to the cause
- At highway speed: wheels out of balance, a damaged tire or a bent wheel
- When braking: warped or uneven rotors
- At idle or a stop: engine misfire or worn engine mounts
- When turning: worn CV joints or steering parts
- All the time and getting worse: a tire with a separated belt, which is dangerous
Do not wait on it
A vibration that gets worse, comes with a noise, or started after hitting a pothole should be checked soon. A failing tire or loose steering part can let go without much more warning.
