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!


'98 2.3 CL
180k on the odometer

 

your quick release is loose?

 

nope.... steering wheel is stationary...

its more of an internal wobbly vibration. if i dont figure out what it is by saturday ill show u what i mean.

can u even drive stick??? i never asked! LOL

 

yes, he drove my car before

 

that means that when he drives mine.. my seat is gonna end up in the trunk...

damn tall bastard

 

i thought i was sitting on the floor when he drove my car

did you ask your dad to look at it?

 

no.. not yet.
i m trying not to take my car to his shop cause i know once he gets his hands on it... my car is gonna be 5 feet in the air. he always complains about my car being too low.

 

:ghey: your dad is pretty anal about stuff. lol

"Jr put the birds away!"

 

the birds he smuggled from guyana?



lol

 

possibly with illegal turtle, dog and cat.

 

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.

 

Will do

that would have to wait for the weekend tho... by the time i get home from work... its dark and im hungry lol


the birds arent from guyana u asshole! LOL!

my parrot might as well have been tho. hes got my country colors on! Red Yellow and Green


Starboy: when are u comin to Cali dude!??!?!

 

what about uneven tire wear? from ur car being SLAMMED

 

camber kit!

its been corrected since i slammed it. its not a continuous vibration... only on moderate to hard acceleration

 

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.

 

transmission

 

i hope to god its not that

 

doubtful.

 

Yes and we all know how perfect those things are..

dont trip man.. Im sure its just one of your 14" rims are bent.. Like mine

 

Could someone explain to me why if it is the wheel bearing, that it only does it from 3rd - 4th under heavy acceleration? just curious

 

i wondered that too....

 

16'S.. u asshole

 

thats what im wondering too. im not saying thats def. what it is. its just a possibility.

 

when did you bent your rim?

 

Lol.. but u keeps em clean though




i dont know, prolly when i had my gayass Omnipower Coils on..

 

Chinatown suspension FTW!

 

i guess when i go to coilovers then straight to tien i go.

 

hey i see u cocoa!!

i need u to test drive my car... help me figure this shit out

and welcome back to CALI!!

 

hes back? lets go get crunk!!

 

he wants to go to MB2 to race the carts on sunday (so ive heard from brent and J)

sunday meet!

 

let me know..

 

you probably have a busted axle,. same symptoms happend to my friends 92 lude... it was fine when you drove it slow but once you stepped on her it vibrated the shit out of the car....

 

Hmmmm....


if i had a busted axle... wouldnt my car be stuck??? i dont have lsd u know

 

Look at your engine/transmission mounts. My was disintegrating when the same symptoms happened to me on a trip.

 

not completly busted, what I really meant was the CV joint being busted...

 

then there would be mad grease everywhere... no???

 

come over on sunday with the rest of the peeps! LOL

 

i already invited them on sunday

 

Sounds like the CV joint is busted, certainly looked like it from the pics

 

PICS??? WHAT PICS?
