by techplusaadmin August 17, 2020Lexus are comfortable, dependable, and are equipped with high-end features, yet they are still affordable. A common problem you may come across with your Lexus is wheel vibrations. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons behind wheel vibrations and where to go for help.
Wheel Vibrations
Vibrations occur when your car shakes. These vibrations are often caused by defective tires or components. However, some vibrations may be due to your car being out of alignment. Your car can shake back and forth or up and down. Some vibrations may only be felt in the steering wheel or brake pedal.
Reasons for Wheel Vibrations in a Lexus
Vibrations are unnerving. This shaking can be a symptom of a major problem or a minor repair. Come see the ASE-certified mechanics at TechPlus Automotive to diagnose and fix your Lexus.
Most Common Issues of wheel vibrations:
Tire issues
The most common causes of vibrations are produced by the tires. Worn tires and tires that are out of balance can make your vehicle shake. The most common solutions are tire rotation, replacement, balancing and realignment, which are easy fixes.
Brake Issues
When the vibration only occurs during braking, it is often due to a brake issue. Changing the brake pads and rotors often takes care of the problem. Rotors can get deformed over time from heat, stress, and weather conditions and are usually the cause of the vibrations.
Worn-out Spark Plugs
If a spark plug is not firing properly, it can cause your Lexus to shake. This issue typically triggers your check engine light. You may also notice a loss of power and/or hesitation. This is an inexpensive and quick fix.
Engine mount issues
The motor mount reduces vibrations and noises from the engine but can fail over time. This allows the motor to shake, which produces excess vibrations. A broken motor mount should be fixed right away. It can lead to more damage and very expensive engine repairs.
Suspension Problems
Your suspension should make your drive smooth. When there is an issue with the suspension, you may experience vibrations at higher speeds and while traveling over rough roads or speed bumps. When there is an issue with the suspension, you may also hear clunking, squeaks, and squeals.
Driving While Experiencing Vibrations
Vibrations are annoying and can make driving difficult. If you can feel your Lexus shaking abnormally, do not ignore it. Excessive vibrations and shaking are a symptom that your car is experiencing a problem.
To find the exact issue, it is important that you have your vehicle inspected by a professional. That is why you should come see us as soon as you notice a problem.
