Suspension or Drivetrain Issue Causing Whole Car Shake Over Bumps
The vehicle shakes over bumps, indicating a likely problem with the suspension system (e.g., worn shocks, struts, or bushings) or a drivetrain component (e.g., loose or damaged axle shaft). This can affect vehicle control and safety.

Worn or damaged shock absorbers or struts that fail to dampen impact, causing excessive bounce and vibration.
Loose or worn suspension bushings (control arm, sway bar, or ball joints) allowing excessive movement.
Damaged or unbalanced driveshaft or CV axle, especially if vibration is felt through the floor or seat.
