Vibrations on acceleraltion.. between 3rd-4th gear... WTF!

I noticed as i was driving home yesterday that when i start to accelerate on third gear (moderate to hard acceleration) there is this nasty vibration / wobbling feeling. it feels as tho my front right wheel is attached only by one lug or an unbalanced wheel, but it cant be cause when i let off the gas the "wobbling" feeling stops immediately. anyone know what might cause this??? has this happened to anyone before?

the only thing i can guess is a bad motor mount. i still havent popped the hood yet as it were too dark last nite to check and i ran late to work this morning (im so black... arrive to work late... leave rite on time! LOL)



i just hope my engine dont fall out in the middle of the fwy... that would suck ass!

Check your axle for play. If there is, then the bearig are shot and you need to replace the axle. All you have to do is get under your car and see if you can move it in any way. Put a lot of force on it, up down, side to side.

i was gonna say it could be your wheel bearing.

try and jack up your car on 1 side, and try and push the wheel back and forth, if theres play. then its most likely your wheel bearing.

i have a bad wheel bearing right now, but it thumps and makes noises all the time, unlike how you said only in certain driving situations.
