The tires are forced to move and rotate in the same way as the wheels because they are attached together. Therefore, you must check and see if there is a problem with any of the components directly related to your wheels.<\/p>\n<p>This means inspecting the <a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wheel-bearings-symptoms-and-replacement-cost\/\">wheel bearings<\/a> to ensure they are not worn out or damaged. Also, if you have bad ball joints or <a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/symptoms-of-a-bad-tie-rod-end-and-replacement-cost\/\">tie rod ends<\/a>, then you will hear squeaky noises coming from the area around your tires.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, driving straight will prove to be the biggest challenge because the wheels and tires will shake just from that.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read also:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/symptoms-of-a-bad-alignment\/\">Symptoms of a Bad Alignment<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Tires\"><\/span>#2 \u2013 Tires<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-504982\" src=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tires-out-of-balance.jpg\" alt=\"tires out of balance\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tires-out-of-balance.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tires-out-of-balance-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tires-out-of-balance-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If there are no problems with the wheels then the problem may be with the tires themselves. Something as mediocre as worn tire tread or low air pressure in just one tire could cause the entire vehicle to shake because all four tires will be unevenly positioned on the road.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to make sure you don&#8217;t have <a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/symptoms-of-unbalanced-tires\/\">unbalanced tires<\/a> and don&#8217;t show signs of uneven tread wear. It&#8217;s also crucial to have the recommended amount of air pressure in them. If you don\u2019t then you will notice a lot of shaking when you drive at higher speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Air pressure is the easiest tire problem to fix because you just top off the air with your air compressor or go to the gas station and pump more air into the tires using their compressor.<\/p>\n<p>But when you have tire tread wear, it usually occurs more on one side of the car versus the other side. In this case, you would rotate the tires around to even them out more on both sides.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Brakes\"><\/span>#3 \u2013 Brakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-504983\" src=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brake-problems.jpg\" alt=\"brake problems\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brake-problems.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brake-problems-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brake-problems-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When driving at low or high speeds and you start to apply pressure to the brake pedal, you may experience strange noises or shaking from the tires at that point.
