May 22, 200917 yr comment_346627 my car has recently been shaking really bad whenever i stop. and there is a really loud banging noise i think its coming from the motor and i can't figure out what it is. also what can i do to my car to increase its performance? :D First thing you can do to increase its performance is get rid of the shaking and banging. Actually, don't even think about "what can i do to my car to increase its performance" until you've diagnosed the banging and the shaking - that just doesn't sound good :fuzz: firstly, there's not a hope in hell that anyone can help with such a broad description of the problem ... we need some more detail and some specifics. For example: my car has recently been shaking really bad whenever i stop this could easily be caused by 16 belly dancers in the boot who start their gyrations only when the vehicle is stationary. remedy: get the 16 belly dancers out of your boot and tell them to go home. there is a really loud banging noise i think its coming from the motor and i can't figure out what it is this could easily be caused by one of the belly dancers who got into the engine bay by mistake (she meant to get into the boot with the others) and is now banging on the underside of the bonnet to be let out. remedy: get the belly dancer out from under the bonnet and tell her to go home. seriously though ... Is it shaking as you come to a stop? What sort of shaking? Side to side, up and down, fast, slow ??? Does it feel like it's coming from the back of the car or the front? Does the brake pedal pulsate under your foot? Does the steering wheel shake in your hand? What sort of banging? High and tinny, deep and thumpy? Does it speed up when you rev the motor? Is it in time with the shaking? (for example) suspect: engine mounts warped discs out of round drums tyre tread separating tyre out of round wheel out of balance (detached weights, mud adhering to rim etc) worn suspension components big end bearings piston conrods dropped valve torn fan belts worn CV joints faulty universals cheers, Slapper Edited May 22, 200917 yr by slapper Report

(for example) cheers, Slapper its deep and thumping. the whole car shakes from side to side when i come to a complete stop. it doesnt do it while the car is moving or slowing down. i think i need motor mounts but i have needed them and it has recently gotten alot worse Report

I assume you mean when the car is stationary and idling. does it change with rev's at all? does it do it if you coast along with the clutch in and the engine idling? I'd be checkinbg engine mounts first. cheers, Slap Report

May 22, 200917 yr comment_346655 are you giving food and water to the hookers in the trunk? 'cos they get agitated when they're hungry and dehydrated... Kicking and thrashing about etc... would explain the rocking. Report
