do the strut test

i had a bad wheel that blew out my strut, i did know what it was and then two motor mounts and a strut later it ran smooth. that tire did some damage in such a short period of time.

a very important thing to look at before driving any further is to check your bushings attached to your lower control arm. if the bolts came lose the braking and accelarating will be really bad. just some other ideas to what might be causing this shaking.

look at this picture and follow all the places its attached to on the car.

ArmaanOG · 11-03-2009, 12:29 PM

ok cool ill look at that. you think the lower control arm would cause the shake ? if so ive been driving like this for 3 months lol it only shakes when accelerated hard but normal driving its not that bad. strictly from the left side also. the left headlight bulb shakes when i give gas..

CarsAddict · 11-03-2009, 01:47 PM

im guessing your axle mate. take it in or if u have a mate that knwos his axels get him to do it

Sam_J · 11-07-2009, 04:53 PM

bump, I currently have the same problem. mine shakes between 30-50mph during acceleration only.
tires are fine, rims are fine, new clutch & flywheel, new wheel bearings, new halfshaft, mounts are fine.. replaced axles 3 times on each side.

I think its either a bad diff bearing or my clutch/pp/flywheel is messed up.

how did you check your mounts? cuz that was my problem and it turned out to be the bottom driver motor mount....now it runs smooth

Sam_J · 11-09-2009, 11:06 AM

I am running front and rear urethane mount inserts. Plus I took a pry bar to both of them and the motor doesnt budge.

01silverstreak · 11-09-2009, 11:19 AM

i never did the pry bar deal....i engaged the e brake and started to lurch the car foward not launch like dumping the clutch at 5000 but i had my buddy stand on the side and he saw the motor tip foward so go fig the mount was shot.....anyway if you got new inserts your proly good....

ArmaanOG · 11-10-2009, 08:41 PM

hmmm my tob does squeak when i dont touch the clutch.... it possibly could be that pp and clutch..... im going to do it this winter so well see. in the mean while im going to change my wires andget my mounts checked again.... this is making me so mad

Swantombomboy · 11-11-2009, 06:01 PM

What about the other axle? Grab hold of the axle near the inner joint and (aggressively) wiggle it up and down. If there is any movement. Its bad. And dont use remanufactured axles. Buy new ones.

ArmaanOG · 11-18-2009, 01:08 AM

im going to try the driver side soon. it doesnt click or anything. nothing looks bent and all bushings look good. im so ****ing stumped

trickeng · 11-18-2009, 04:14 AM

if it is truely a shake(rumbling with no loss of power) and not a stutter(quick losses of power). then don't waste your money trying ignition items.

sounds like your axles are binding. is you car slammed? the right way to check your axles is to jack up your car under each front control arm to make sure it is at ride height, remove the axle nut and push the axles in. you should have around 3/4" movement. if you have less then it is most likely binding. if you can push the axle in where it is completely inside the hub then your axle is to short. in most cases it will be to short for how low your car is.

if it was you flywheel it would shake even without moving. just rev you car sitting still and if it doesn't shake then its not the flywheel/clutch.

ArmaanOG · 11-18-2009, 05:16 PM

cars not slammed but it has a a little drop. i gotta get my car on a lift and check it out i barely have any access to a lift.
