Hi,

My front end severely viberates only when full acceleration and under a load. Not when the car is with one driver and no extra weight.

Could it have anything to do with a cracked lower control arm bushing? I am getting the parts to repair that.

Any sugestions? https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif

 

..yes

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping that was my problem. You guys are great. I am getting manuals and hope I will soon be able to help as well. I have had mine for 2 months. Getting the kinks out of it.

 

Well...Welcome to A-zine! I'm a long time SVT/Mustang guy but this site does pretty good for the amount of people. Everyone's friendly and helpful so I'm sure you'll be able to find what you're looking for. Any pics of the ride? What kinda kinks you got to work with?

 

NOOOOOOO its not the ball joint sorry to say.. Its your axles..

 

You sure? I figured the ball joint would be fine but a cracked bushing can cause severe vibration. Pretty common

 

Also check the CV joints. When the car is loaded, different driveline angle, more pressure on the joints.

 

Yeah i am very sure.. Because i had that problem and it took me forever to figure it out.. And i am a Honda tech.. It is the axle, what happens is the inner joints get worn out and it doesnt sit snug in the inner joint so u cant replace it cuz it will come rite back in a month and u cant buy after market cuz it will come rite back.. The only way to fix it and not have it come back is to replace it with OEM axles.. And no there is no way to figure out which one it is.. U just have to take a guess and hope its rite.. Sorry..


Ur kinda rite but u just have to replace it and it will be fine.. Promise..

 

Yup... 9/10 its the passenger side axle... but you never know. I have this problem as well and getting it warrantied.

 

From my experience a vibration under acceleration only on a Honda, and maybe a slight clunking sometimes, is common when the inner CV joint is bad on the passenger side of the car.

I don't think it's a bushing. I've had many worn out bushings before and replacing them has never affected vibrations in the car.
