Have you been experiencing some sort of vibration in your car? Have you brushed this off and assumed that maybe the road you are driving on is uneven? Well do not ignore this little sign. It is time to service your car and let an expert look into the problem as soon as possible. Tear and wear in a car is definitely unavoidable; but it is very important to always watch out for these little problem that could actually put your car off the road if not arrested at the right time. Car valuation is highly dependent on good care and servicing history.
Here are top causes of vibrations in a car:
- Engine Problems: If your engine is giving a certain shudder it is possible that it is not running smoothly which could be a result of lack of enough air, spark or fuel. You may need to replace the spark plugs, check the spark plug wires or clear dirty air and fuel filters.
- Axle Problems: Driving of rough terrain or collisions can cause the axle to bend thus causing vibrations during driving. The driveshaft could also be bent thus it does not effectively transfer engine power to the rear axles resulting to vibration. Another issue in the axle problems could be constant velocity (CV) is worn out.
- Break Trouble: If the brake rotors are messed up, then you will experience vibration while you apply brakes on your car. This can be as a result of tear and wear or overheating thus raising the rotor or lowering it on its surface making it difficult for the brake pads and the calipers that normally squeeze the rotors to effectively work.
- Tire Problems: Tires experience a lot of tear and wear and are meant to be checked and replaced whenever required as this can really affect a driving experience and shorten the life of your vehicle. It is important therefore to check tire pressure balance, replacement and rotation.
- Pre-owned cars are especially affected by these problems because the old owner may not have taken extra care of the vehicle. It is therefore important to consider these things when doing a car search.
