i am totally clueless on this problem since i have tired so many ways of fixing it. during any amount of acceleration, from stop to whenever there is an vibration that wouldn't go away unless i let go the gas. So far i have bought a fresh set of tires, changing the tranny mounts and aftermaket axles. any other ideas on what it can be?

BigBadTL

had a similar problem...one inner CV joint was bad and both lower ball joints were damaged...

bro i had lower rpm vibration and i have tried to fix so many things, but as soon i put fuel injector cleaner into my gas tank , it was gone. u might wana try it out

tngay510

its not just low RPM its throughout the whole powerband

tngay510

how do you check the ball joints?

BigBadTL

look at where the a-arm attaches to the steering knuckle...mine were visibly torn.

Your axles are bad.

tngay510

axles have just been changed less than 500miles

motor mount?

tngay510

mount doesnt look ripped so i assume its in good condition. from a friend's advice, i pryed the lower ball joint against the hub and control arm and there was some play. so imma change the joints tomorrow and see what happens

Were the axles new or reman? Reman axles are notorious for this problem.

tngay510

new aftermarket axles. the weird thing about this problem also is that it tends to be worst at times then other times.

tngay510

after replacing both lower ball joints the shaking did subside, but there is still vibrating. any other possible item i should look into?

fsttyms1

Have you ever cleaned the EGR ports or had it done?

BigBadTL

what's the condition of your tires? are they new or have they been balanced lately?

tngay510

i had tired swapping tires from my s2k already for the front. still there.

tngay510

feels like something along the drivetrain then motor problem

I'm with you right now, I replaced my tires first, just had my axle changed, was ok, but two of my mounts were completely shot so I replaced them but still vibration, a bit less. Ill try the fuel injector cleaner since its a cheap mod. If i cant figure it out i will just buy acura 120 to run some test.

I have had the same problem. Last year it was two motor mounts. This year its two spark plug coils.

tngay510

which 2 mounts?

erick3

put your car up on a lift and see, when you accelerate, if either of your front wheels wobble. if so, bend hub or axle.

tngay510

no access to a lift = cant do that

tngay510

possibly the half shaft prob?

speedemon90

same problem, there have been other threads on this and ive heard either bad cv joint or bad axle. Friend had the same problem in his 2001( i believe) accord and he replaced the axle went away then came back in about 1000 miles.

speedemon90

Ohh and ive had this problem for months now too, so if you have the same thing as me then you dont need to be in a great hurry i think

TLer trash

Axle, cv axle, and half shaft are common terms for the same part. I have seen one post on a technician's forum where they had trouble even with new axles. In this case it was empi brand. I have used this brand with no trouble as have others on this forum. You might try another brand. I really hate making recommendations like this as it's really easy to sit here and guess while you have to spend the time and money. You did do both axles, didn't you?

tngay510

yeah i did both cv axles already. when i said half shaft, i was speaking on the terms in which the passenger side attaches to the half shaft that connects to the tranny

fsttyms1

There have been a few cases of people who had the EGR ports cleaned and the gasket was installed upside down causing similar shaking issues while accelerating.

tngay510

and how would i go cleaning the egr ports? never had a car with egr (ie: integra and s2k)

niju321

did this problem start after you had the axles put in?
if so....axles as above
if not...the other stuff

tngay510

before axles.

fsttyms1

Your integra and s2k have had EGR, its been on every car since like the 80s.

I asked if you had ever HAD or done it. If you had a code come up for insufficient flow and had brought it in it could have happend then, if not thats not your problem.

tngay510

nope no code

My 2003 TL also shudders while accelerating. When you take your foot off the accelerator, the shimmy stops. The dealer has said that it is torque converter shudder, and that I need a new tranny.

tngay510

the shaking isnt as rough anymore. found that the passenger side mount was ripped and replaced it. there is still some shaking was nothing compare to how it was.

Sust Man

Same EXACT problem with my 02. Mechanic said axles were fine. He replaced the rear motor mount and the shaking got better by about 60%. Hmmmmm

tngay510

yeah it was all the motor mounts. i have changed all but the rear one and plan on doing it next week.

02type-s

Mine feels like a flat front tire almost, only happens while accelerating. It all started when i got a flat, and its been doing it ever since.

Replaced both front tires, it still does it. No check engine light, had ball joints done not too long ago.. My motor mounts are bad, but they never felt like this..I only felt them before when i would accelerate from a dead stop, I could just feel a single thump in the pedal.

Now its a constant vibration felt mainly in the floor during acceleration

Sust Man

I had 2 motor mounts (front and side) and a tranny mount replaced a year ago. They fixed a problem with a clunky feeling I was having when shifting and hitting the gas.

Yesterday I had my rear motor mount replaced, and this is what alleviated alot of the wobble feeling upon acceleration.

tngay510

same thing. check your mounts!
