A car shaking while driving can be caused by several common issues:

• Tire problems: Unbalanced, under-inflated, worn out, or unevenly worn tires can cause shaking felt through the steering wheel or the whole car. Misaligned wheels also lead to uneven tire wear and vibrations.
• Brake issues: Warped brake rotors or worn brake pads may cause shaking particularly when applying the brakes.
• Suspension and steering: Worn shocks, struts, or loose suspension parts like ball joints and tie rods can cause instability and shake the car, especially over bumps or when turning.
• Engine or transmission problems: Engine misfires, worn engine mounts, or transmission issues can cause shaking, especially during acceleration or at idle.

Additional causes include damaged rims, loose lug nuts, bent axles, or worn CV joints. To address car shaking:

• Check tire balance, pressure, and tread condition.
• Inspect wheel alignment.
• Examine brake components.
• Assess suspension and steering parts.
• Get engine and transmission diagnostics if the shaking is related to acceleration or idling.

Getting a professional inspection and timely maintenance can prevent shaking and avoid costly repairs or unsafe driving conditions.
