A Vibrating Car Is a Clear Sign of a Problem

Drivers experience discomfort when they feel weird vibrations while driving at high speeds. Some are forced to stop their vehicles for fear they might get into an accident.

If you experience such vibrations while driving, this only goes to show that there’s something wrong with your vehicle. This may be due to defects in your car’s engine or some other components. Common causes for car vibrations include problems with your tires, wheels, brakes, and suspension.

Ignoring this issue can cause an even bigger problem for you in the future, not to mention increase your risk of getting into an accident because of parts failure. As soon as you notice weird shaking or vibration in your car, get it inspected to avoid further damage to your vehicle.

Let’s look at five possible reasons why your vehicle shakes at high speed.

1. Misaligned tires

Your tires get misaligned over time, especially if you often drive on bad roads. Misaligned tires can cause your car to shake at high speed. They can easily be fixed by having your car serviced for tire alignment at your local auto shop.

2. Shocks

Your car’s shock absorbers dampen and reduce vibrations. If they stop working correctly, they can cause your car to vibrate when driving.

3. Axle

Axles that are in bad condition can cause your car to shake when you’re cruising on the road. Damaged axles also affect your car’s stability, which decreases your control over your vehicle.

4. Damaged rims

Hitting large bumps or potholes can damage your vehicle’s rims. When your rims are bent or broken, it can affect how your vehicle behaves, especially during high speed.

5. Engine issues

Engine problems can cause your car to vibrate. While there are multiple possible causes of shaking involving your engine, your mechanic can likely isolate it to a few parts if the vibrations only happen during high-speed driving.

A Win-Win Solution for Your Old Car

If the vibration you’re experiencing in your car is too much for you to bear, if resolving the problem will mean costly repairs and parts replacements that will bust your budget, the obvious solution is to simply dispose of that vehicle.

It won’t count as a loss for you if you hand it over to us at Breast Cancer Car Donations. On the contrary, it will be a win for you since you’ll get to receive valuable rewards while making a charitable contribution aimed at helping save the lives of destitute breast cancer patients in your community.

We’ll have your vehicle fixed before selling it at a top auction house in your area to generate funding for our nonprofit partners. These IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits are committed to helping breast cancer patients, particularly those who are uninsured and lack the financial means to pay for the costs of their treatments. The proceeds from the sale of your donated vehicle will go directly to these nonprofits to support their life-saving programs.

Thanks to your donation, our charity partners will be able to serve more of their beneficiaries, providing them with easy access to top medical facilities as well as financial assistance to help defray the costs of their treatments, doctor consultations, hospital fees, medications, and other essential health care services. Other beneficiaries get to receive free breast cancer screening and prevention and education services.

You’ll reap great rewards for your donation. Expect to receive by mail the 100% tax-deductible sales receipt of your car a few weeks after its sale. Using this receipt, you can then claim the maximum tax deduction in the next tax-filing season.

You also need not worry about how to dispose of your unwanted vehicle since we will provide you with our pickup and towing service wherever you’re located in the country at no cost to you. We will coordinate with a professional towing company in your area to haul your vehicle away at a date, time, and place most convenient for you.

The best reward you’ll get, however, is experiencing the joy and satisfaction of giving something that will help save lives.

You can donate not just a car but also almost any other type of vehicle. Regardless of your vehicle’s physical state or working condition, we’ll gladly take it off your hands for free.
