Whole Car Shakes While Driving
The vehicle experiences a noticeable vibration or shaking throughout the entire car while driving, which may indicate issues with the wheels, tires, drivetrain, or suspension components.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes

Out-of-round or damaged tire: A tire with a broken belt, bulge, or irregular wear can cause shaking.
Worn or loose suspension components: Damaged ball joints, tie rods, or control arm bushings can lead to instability and vibration.
Driveshaft or CV joint issues: Worn constant velocity joints or unbalanced driveshaft can cause whole-car shaking, especially during acceleration.
