Why is my car wobbling and shaking?
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.

What causes a car to shake while standing still?

Why does my car vibrate all the time?
Engine mounts are generally rubber mounted braces that hold the engine in place to the chassis of the car. When these break or become weak or faulty, this may cause the engine to vibrate heavily. I would suggest having an expert from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect your vehicle.
What happens if you ignore the shaking in your engine?
If you ignore shaking that’s due to a misfire, you risk damaging costly vehicle parts, such as the catalytic converter and engine. The same goes if the shaking is due to an internal engine failure – if you keep driving, you’re only going to end up damaging your vehicle more. Plus, you’ll end up stranded on the side of the road.
Why does my car shake at a red light?
