FWD del sol si-


just happened like 5min ago i was driving and my damn car is shaking like CRAZY! wen i accelerate really hard theres like a knock sound very faint. The front tires are also down to the wear bars now wat would cause it to vibrate so bad, when i say bad i mean bad! my vafc fell off even haha

now wen i shift gears or pull up theres a clunking noise

well check your front end.. bushigns, mounts, balljoints, etc Without actually driving it its hard to tell you excatly what it is.

check your motor mounts. they dont fail very often, but Ive heard of it.

polska_01

it isnt a motor mount i kno wat that feels like lol! it sounds like the tranny would something with the tranny cause a huge vibration in the front end? the wheel and shifter and full interior is like a roller coaster wen i drive it lol

imported_chris_v2

sounds like a mount to me

my guess would be an axle

polska_01

it sounds like an axle wen i accelerate quickly it sounds like an axle click and then sometimes a heavy clunk. How do i check if the axel is bad so there any other way then pulling it

1sloweg

grab the axle and checkhow much play is in the joint

imported_djtrini

another way to check if its the axle, put your car up on jackstands.

Or get it on a Hoist (safer way)

And take your tires/rims off, and put the car in drive.
Have a buddy accelerate the car, and you will see the axle moving oddly.

Thats how I diagnosed a bad axle in my wifes 99 Teg GSR.

Are you axle boots toast? If so, like mike said, thats probably your problem.

Or a really worn out mount.

well jacked the car up 2day and the axel seemed a lil loose so i hit it bak in and it snapped it and now the car doesnt shake but the axel seems a lil loose any ideas on why it came loose?

imported_chris_v2

......

describe loose. what part was loose?

1sloweg

as chris said, what do u mean loose....... and how you snapped it back..... its 6 ***** in slots, how do u snap...........

polska_01

sorry guys snapped it back in ! clicked it back in same idea ! and by loose i mean when you grab the axel theres play and when i look overhead from up top under hood area it looks like the axel is warped? the drivers side axel is firm with no play so thats what im basing my findings on

polska_01

god damn the axel still keeps popping out!

Dominik

Kurwa Mach. replace it.

imported_SiR_Gurl

its probably ur motor mounts..mine does the clunking noise wenever i shift but it doesnt vibrate too much...i have to replace mine really soon

polska_01

it is not the motor mounts ! i checked and double checked i KNO its the axle or tranny because when i reconnected the axel it was PERFECT no shaking back to normal but wen i pulled it and shifted semi quick with wheel spin the axel i guess popped out AGAIN! i dont understand wat would cause this? broken lock on the axel or stripped ends on the axel or something on the tranny side?

is the axle popping out of the tranny?
If so, its probably just the little c-clip on the end of the axle that needs to be replaced. Thats really all that holds the axle into the differential.
