If a car is shaking when the brakes are being applied, it is likely that the front end is out of alignment. The tie rod ends or shocks could also need replacing.
You may also find that the brake rotors are warped.
You may need a wheel alignment, or you may need bushings.
Brake rotor/rotors are out of round / warped. Check rotors and REPLACE as needed.
Shaking while braking: Usually caused by warped brake rotors or worn brake pads. Grinding noise on acceleration: Often due to worn brake pads, bad wheel bearings, or drivetrain issues. It’s best to inspect the brakes and wheels soon, as worn parts can get worse over time.
If it varies with driving speed, look for an out-of-round tire. If it vibrates only when braking, you probably have a warped brake rotor.
When a car shakes while braking downhill, it’s usually due to heat and uneven braking parts. Common reasons: Warped brake discs (most common) Downhill braking overheats the rotors, causing slight warping → you feel vibration in the steering or pedal. Brake pad deposits Holding brakes too long can leave uneven material on discs → creates a pulsing/shaking effect. Worn suspension parts Loose components (like control arms or bushings) can amplify the vibration under braking. Wheel or tire issues Imbalanced wheels or uneven tire wear can also cause shaking, especially at speed. What to do: Get brake discs & pads inspected Avoid riding brakes downhill (use engine braking/gears) Check suspension if shaking is strong In most cases, it’s just brake disc warping from heat.
If it only happens when you are braking I would suspect warped brake rotors. Other reasons the front end could shake would include unbalanced tires or the vehicle needing realignment. Whatever the case may be; driving a car in this condition is unsafe and you should repair it or have it repaired before you drive it again.
Normally this is caused by a tire out of balance or a bent wheel.
warped rotor
not usually. warped rotors will cause a vibration during braking.
physics involved,to keep it simple roters. 65;
Could be a vacuum leak
The CV joint being loose is one of the main causes for a car shaking while it is going uphill. However, a faulty AC and faulty engine could also be the problem.
