My Toyota Camry 09 vibrates at high speed and sometimes when I apply brake or reduce speed. I have changed all tyres, done wheel balancing and alignment. Also checked the CV joint, rotor, shaft. Yet the problem continues, please help.

Did you change the brake disc with original brand new

Thanks, never knew shock can cause vibration

And maybe engine sitting. My Chrysler t & c started vibrating at 130/40 and it was engine sitting

Engine seat only goes bad if there is a bad front shocks


Check your ball joints

Try and check your front brake disks..

Check and change or file your front rotors (brake disc) and thank me later

Get a good technician to test drive the car so he can know where the issue is coming from. Not just changing part up and down

Also, the back shock is bad. I was wondering if it can cause shaking and vibration especially when the brake is applied at high speed.

When tracing vibration, it's important to note certain things like.
The speed at which the vibration starts and stop or it never stops at all when it starts. (Km/mph)
Where do you feel the vibration?
The mileage of your car.

To your question, vibration when the brake is applied is 95% of the time caused by a bad brake disc. Other things to check: Your camber bushing, bolt joint, stuck caliper slide pins, and stuck caliper piston.

Btw, bad shock will not directly cause vibration! But noise in an uneven road also losing vehicle composure at high speed.

No mention about the condition of the brake rotors, calipers or pads?

This is 2026, don't let Kazeem build a mansion ontop your head.

Thanks my brother,the car wobbles even at the lowest speed. I had to change all the tyres, and did wheel balancing and alignment, yet problem persists. I suspect a rotating part may be the culprit.

If you're in Abuja and haven't found solution to it, let's meet and I diagnose it then fix it.

What causes a car to shake when accelerating includes the following: a worn spark plug, faulty ignition coil, faulty fuel injector, damaged fuel pump, contaminated fuel, worn engine mount, faulty axle, failing torque converter, uneven power to the wheels, worn bushing, a deflated tire and Loose lug nut.

Many vehicle problems don't happen suddenly they often give warning signs long before a major breakdown.

A pre-purchase inspection helps you understand a vehicle's actual condition before making a decision. After buying, regular inspections and early attention to minor issues can prevent expensive repairs and help keep the vehicle reliable for longer.

Taking action early almost always costs less than waiting until something fails.

Check your ball joint and tie rod, these two.

Please have you fixed this?
I'm experiencing same issue, though mine starts from 70 to 80kmh, if I press had on accelerator, but disappears immediately i remove my leg, I have done wheel balancing just to be sure but still same issue

My car is 2012 corolla

Yes I have fixed it. The Continuous Velocity joint otherwise known as the inner cup is faulty. Replaced it and everything is okay. The link below is very helpful

Okay thanks, so how do i know the one that's causing the vibration, or is it advisable to change the two bearings or cup?

If the bearing is bad, you will see it broken or damaged else, return it back. Please see this link below. You can also jack the front tyres, put the car on drive without accelerating. The faulty side of the tyre will show itself, it will wobble. Also check your tyre and wheel balancing, carefully observe them. Wheels can become bent/damaged after years of usage.

Wheel balancing is the first thing i have done, my rim has a little bent, very little that you won't notice, I was thinking it's the issue and changed to spare tyre, and the vibration is still there, that's when I know it's not the rim cause.

I'm just tired, I have been managing is like that.

Maybe I will try change the bearing too, or inspect the cup,

Check the bearing and cup, if they are okay then return in to it's state

Alright, thank you

But can steering rack causes vibration too? , because I was told my steering rack is faulty when I noticed kpuku kpuku sound when driving on rough road but the noise disappears on smooth road

Yes, if there is a clearance on the mount bushing and faulty gear system.
A lot of issues can cause vibration in a car especially an old one. This is why cars are sold after their 10 to 13 years useful life and shipped to third world countries.
We buy an old vehicle thinking that we are bigger boys, while a lot of issues are waiting for us.

This is the reality of life, most wise folks now buy China vehicles for between N20-N25m and hope to sell it after 10 years. Tokumbo cars are quite stressful to maintain.

Alright, thanks
