Hi everyone my 2002 durango has a problem.Driving along and it starts shaking.the engine runs fine.did it a couple of times to me and wife.it does it then drives fine anyone have this happen to them.Could it be the front hub bearing or brakes.Please help wife needs car for work and drive my child to school thanks Bill it's a4x4 also

 

any CEL codes? if it were something in the driveline (wheel hubs brakes driveshaft out of balance i would expect it to be continuous not intermiten) almost makes me think the engine is missing bad (ONLY when it is shaking)

btw it sounds to me like you feel the whole truck shaking, not just the steering wheel,

also what engine do you have? the 4.7 or the 5.9? (yes it makes a difference in the trans/driveline that was used)

 

No engine light or codes.the whole thing shakes.4.7

 

It stops if you stop moving.any help.thanks

 

this is a long shot, but check your balljoints, jack up the front and pull on the wheels at 12/6, if it moves replace the balljoints,

and is it always shaking when you are driving or intermittenly? (trying to narrow it down for ya)

 

Intermittenly it did it once last week then again last night.

 

Does it happen when you hit a bump or rounding a corner? When was the last time you replaced your shocks?

 

I haven't changed the shocks.it did it to my wife last time I think she was just driving down the road.

 

I let my shocks go over 100K then asked why my truck would shimmy when I was rounding a corner and hit a bump, sure enough it quit when I replaced my shocks. Not only that it rode like a new vehicle! If it shimmy's while going straight on a smooth surface then most likely you have a bad ball joint or something.

 

it dont feel like a shimmy it kind of feels like the brakes going on and off reely fast.
