Anybody Know Why My Car Is Shaking?

Yup, sounds like you need a wheel alignment! Been there done that!

Thats what it sounds like to me if the whole car was vibrating. If it was just the front end- that could be a more serious problem.

I had the same thing happen with my old car. Scared the crap out of me. I think it is something to do with the wheels, roater(sp?), or something in that area. Definitely have it checked. It only gets worse and more scary. I hope you find the problem to be something minor.

Car problems are my biggest fear in life. It definitely sounds like you have an allignment problem or one of the tires is degrading(seperating). Good luck with it.

You need your tires balanced. When they are off balance your car will start to shake when you reach higher speeds..

When your wheels need to be aligned.. the car will veer off in one direction instead of driving in a straight line.

Husky_mom, In your dealings with cars at the shop, which car, SUV and truck do you think is the best regarding upkeep and dependability?

I'd like to buy a new vehicle but I really like not having a car payment and I kind of like my little Focus (except I don't like it now because of the shaking issue).

Just curious.

Shaking like that is normally either a bad tire or a tire that's out of balance.

Bad tires can be caused by alignment problems, so it sounds like a tire rotation/balance and an alignment check is in order.

Until the engine finally went in our old Acura we played the always fun game of "Guess The Scary Noise!"

Hope your shaking is cleared up ASAP, no fun driving a car with a twisted sense of humor!
Good luck and BE SAFE!
