Is the vibration happening at higher speeds when cruising along?
· Is the vibration happening more at lower speeds or when taking off from a red light?
· Does the vibration occur when hitting the brakes and slowing down?
· Does the vibration occur after hitting a bump?
· Is the vibration felt when driving slow in a parking lot?
Once we have the answers, the next step is passing the information onto the Mechanic. Now for the most important step of all. The Mechanic will test drive the truck. He needs to experience the exact vibration. This is when the Mechanic verifies the shake. Next, the Truck comes into the Repair Shop for a full inspection. A full Digital Vehicle Inspection is performed and any problems are noted by the Mechanic.
Having dealt with a large volume of vibration problems, this is what we usually find.
- Vibration happening at high speeds: This is usually a Tire issue or a Tire Balance issue. Sometimes a low quality after market wheel can cause this.
- Vibration at lower speeds or when taking off from a red light: This is most often from the Drivetrain. Look for worn CV Axles, Differential problems, or Drive Shaft issues.
- Vibration when hitting brakes or slowing down: This is most often due to a Brake issue.
- Vibration after hitting a bump: This is often due to a worn out front end or faulty front suspension component
- Vibration felt when driving slow in a parking lot: This is usually from a faulty tire. We would be looking for a Tire Separation or a defective Tire Belt.
