Reason for "jerks" is God ran out of brains before he was done making people and had to put some down here without any (brains).

Engine vibrations mean the gears are broken, or something.

Easy does it, mind the BP. I think God knew we needed vibrations so we pay attention to balance.

Ok, ok, ok maybe you need experiment to reproduce this anomally so you can perceive the reasoning. Strap a brick to the outside of one of your ankles then run a foot race and afterwards determine the effect of adding the brick.

Engine vibrations is a result of several cases, all these cases tends to engine un balance which appears in a form of vibration.such as

i - un equal compression in combustion champers which due to defect valves or valve seats ,broken or loosen piston rings,excess corrosion of cylinders and cylinder or cylinder head cracks

2 -for petrol engine it may be results by defect of one or more of spark plugs,spark scape through broken high tension cables,defect distributer cap or distributor rotor

3 - For diesel engines it it may be results by defect injectors or injection pump need to be calibrated

to assure any of above cases your engine must be open to be checked by specialized work shop
