Why is my back tire shaking when I drive?
The most common cause of vehicle wobbles in this speed range is a bent wheel or mildly out of round tire. The most common cause of vehicle shakes at 50 mph or higher is tire balance. Again, transmission or drive lines can cause this, but the tires should be the first thing to have checked.
Why does my car shake when I go over bumps?
Generally, several vehicle conditions can cause vibrations, from worn suspension parts to brakes and transmissions to tires. If you feel a fast, vibrating shimmy, hitting the bump may have knocked your vehicle’s weight off, and now a tire is out of balance. Either way, now your vehicle’s parts are out of sync.
How do you tell if your tires are out of balance?
The common symptoms of out-of-balance tires are uneven and faster tread wear, poor fuel economy, and vibration in the steering wheel, the floorboard or the seat that gets worse at faster speeds. When all areas of the wheel-tire unit are as equal in weight as possible, the tire will roll smoothly.
What causes a tire to bump instead of rolling smoothly?
At some point the tire has a “valley”, causing it to bump instead of rolling smoothly. I’d like to understand if I have to replace the tire and/or the tube. I checked the tube and it seems alright, I put it on recently and since then the wheel has become wobbly though.
Why does my car feel like it has bumps in it?
If the car was serviced just before this problem started, it is very possible that the tires were overinflated by a service tech. If it turns out that the tires are set at an appropriate pressure (as per the label on the driver’s door jamb, NOT the pressure listed in the tire sidewall), then the struts are the probable culprit.
What causes a side bubble in a tire?
Tire bubbles are most often caused by high-impact damage, such as hitting a pothole or piece of road debris; running into a curb; driving too fast over speed bumps or railroad crossings; overloading your tire; and driving, even for a short distance, with a flat tire.
How can I find out what my tires feel like?
You can check sites like Tirerack.com, look up the tire you just bought and look at the ratings. They are a 1-10 scale and cover rain traction, life, noise as well as ride comfort. Check and compare. These cars ride a bit hard to begin with, some styles of tires will just make this a whole lot worse.
