Inherent Engine Shaking Forces

Engine Order Vibration:







Engine Order Vibration
Just like firing frequency, some engine disturbances are the result of normal operation. Some engines can have additional inherent vibration due to the following elements:
- The cylinder arrangement
- The design
- The firing order
Before attempting to repair a disturbance, compare the disturbance to another known good vehicle. Although some vibrations could be normal, the vibrations could be normal, the vibrations may not be pleasant to the customer.
The key to resolve an inherent engine disturbance is to isolate the vibration from the passenger compartment. Follow the same procedures as outlined for the engine firing frequency-related vibrations
