Whole Car Shakes Over Bumps
The vehicle vibrates or shakes across the entire body when driving over bumps, indicating a likely issue with the suspension or steering components that absorb road irregularities.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Worn or damaged shock absorbers or struts that fail to dampen oscillations after bumps.
Loose or worn suspension bushings (control arm, sway bar, or strut mount bushings) allowing excessive movement.
Unbalanced or out-of-round tires, though typically felt at speed, can cause shaking over bumps if tire structure is compromised.
