Car Shaking Bad Please Help
 
Hi there I am new to the forums and have checked the forums a lot. My issue is that my car is shaking when the car is in D, R, and N. Now when the car is in N it will hardly shake or even at red lights it doesn't shake. When you begin to drive it shakes until you hit a higher RPM but if you go to fast the engine feels like it is shaking out of control. Now I have see the question if it does the same when the A/C is on and yes the car shakes harder when the A/C is on.

The things I have done to fix this is or notice with the are change the motor mounts, put center rings on my rims as I didn't have any, the battery I currently have is 640 CCA and isn't really snug in the battery compartment, also I have noticed that the exhaust system under tends to shake as well but not sure if it is due to the car shaking.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Does this mean you did change the motor mounts?

Yeah I had a mechanic change them.

Have you had the wheel balance checked?

I just got 4 new tires and all were balanced the only thing not done was having the car aligned. Not sure if that would help but I plan to get aligned next week.

Went for a curiosity drive with the car and I notice now that if the engine is cold the shakes very hard and you feel but once the engine warms up it rides a lot smoother but still shakes hard at lower speeds.

That is an odd one, if the car shakes while stationary I wouldn't bother checking the alignment, it has to be to do with the engine. Take it to a mechanic asap and get them to check and recheck all mounts, get them to check the flywheel, clutch etc as well.

The alignment, no matter how bad, wont make it shake. You can still get one done for the sake of tire life, but it wont fix the shaking.

Is it shaking at stand still? revving in neutral? or only while driving?

Check your belt and pullies.

I will defiantly get that checked as the belts look incorrect and worn I am not sure how to check if the pulleys but I will have my mechanic look at it. Unless there is a DIY for pulleys and belts.

Shakes at stand still, when revving the engine is shakes like its going to superman out of my hood, and driving it only shakes hard at low speeds then corrects itself. It odd that once the engine gets hot it barely shakes and isn't noticeable.
