It's never a good idea to put off necessary service for your vehicle. If you're experiencing vehicle shaking while driving along, it's time to contact Toyota of Grapevine to schedule an appointment with our service department. Our team is comprised of some of the most knowledgeable technicians in the Grapevine area, and we can quickly figure out what's causing your shaking. Not only that, but we'll get your vehicle the necessary repairs that it needs.
Does Your Engine Need to Be Serviced?
There are a lot of moving parts within your engine compartment that will require service over the life of your vehicle. Spark plugs are a part that needs to be replaced around 80,000 to 100,000 miles, and they can cause shaking to occur when you're driving if they're not working properly. There is also your engine air filter that will ensure proper airflow is moving through. You should be replacing this filter once every 15,000 miles. Clogs in your air filter can also cause shaking or vibrations in your steering wheel.
Brake Service at 50,000 Miles
Shaking that is being caused by faulty brakes will usually occur when you're hitting your brake pedal. It may go away when you release the brake pedal and are accelerating. Most manufacturers recommend that your brakes get serviced around the 50,000-mile mark, but this service may be needed more often. This is based on a person's driving habits.
The Condition of Your Wheels
As your wheels turn and handle the road underneath your vehicle, they can cause shaking if they're not functioning properly. We'll check out your wheel bearings, ball joints, and tie rods ends to see if anything is off balance or working improperly when you're in motion.
The Integrity of Your Axles
Axles are located in both the front and back of your vehicle. They are used to connect your wheels on both ends of your automobile. These are relatively delicate parts, so it doesn't take much for them to become damaged. A shaking motion can occur if they are bent or malfunctioning. Your CV joints and driveshaft may also be affected.
The Quality of Your Tires
There are many points on your tires that need to be in good condition to have a smooth ride. Tread quality is essential, and we can check this out to see if you're going to be in need of a new set of tires soon. We'll also give your tires an inspection to see if they are in alignment, if they are balanced and if they have the recommended amount of air pressure in them.
If you would like to schedule an appointment with our dealership for routine service or a problem like shaking, you can contact us through our website or call our Grapevine location. We'll get you an appointment as soon as possible so we can determine if your vehicle is safe for you to be driving.
