Why does my car feel bumpy when I’m driving?
Lately, I’ve noticed that my car is moving around a lot more when I’m driving, even if I’m on smooth pavement. Why does my car feel like it’s bouncing when I drive?

Typically, your car will feel bumpy when driving if there’s something wrong with your wheels. Problems that could cause a bouncing feeling include:
- Improper wheel alignment
- One of your tires islow on air
- Your tires are very worn or have worn unevenly
- You have dirt or debris stuck in your tires
If you’re not sure which, if any, of these problems applies to you, it’s probably best to talk to a professional about what’s been going on. That way you can assess the problem and find a solution quickly and easily.
