PAA is the Shiznit!

Man, If there wan't a Park ave Acura, I would be depressed, they brought my car back to normal. I was having problems for 2 months, trying to find this vibration i had under any type of accelerating. I took it to my local dealer and they could do squat. I also had an abs light and VSA light on. the first dealer just gave me the run around. I was fed up, even having local mechanics try to diagnose the car, everythign looked fine visually. The vibration was so harsh, it was almost like a shimmy, I couldn't get on it even a little, but the car would roll smoothly once I let off the gas.
So I took it to PAA, and to make a long storry short, they did a trial and error dignoses that must have drove them crazy. I am humbled that they would even service my car with my mods. I am def gonna buy my next car from them for that act of good service. Pete is the man, and if he reads this, thanks for understanding how I am emotionally attatched to my car, lol.

Pretty sure it was a bad axle, but I'm not positive.

Cool. Good dealers are hard to come by. Especially with all your mods.

sorry, I was out taking my car for a spin around town, the problem was a slightly bent control arm, don't ask. I guess the wheels are tires are so strong that the suspension gave before the wheel did becasue my wheels and tires are perfect. One dealer thought it was a motor mount, another dealer thought it was the tranny, then PAA thought it was the axles, finally we found out it was the control arm, I'm just glad its fixed. and now i have a kind of sound from the front, like a friction sqeak, sounds like metal against metal when i take off. only when the front lifts from acceleration does it sound. minor but annoying.

Glad you got it fixed ron.

I'm always shocked when someone posts that they didn't have a good experience with PAA.
