K, here's the deal, whenever i gun the gas on my Teg, the car shakes really bad. But if i let off the gas and just let her coast shes fine and is smooth as hell. So whats wrong with my car? I can feel the shaking in the steering wheel and the body itself. helpppppppppppp.

It only shakes when shes in gear and im giving it gas. I can be at idle rev the motor and shes smoooooooooooth, but once i start rolling and shes in gear and i give gas, she shakesss.

Axle. Thrust play causes the shuddering under load. You probably don't even notice it until you get to 50mph+ with it getting really noticeable at around 60mph at less than 20% throttle. Under heavier throttle input, you really notice it.

You are the ******* man, now how do i determine which axle is the culprit.

I have no idea. I just found out yesterday after crawling under the car. I don't wanna take them out just yet until I find a replacement set. It could be the int. shaft for all I know.

A local girl who just replaced her axles no longer has the problem. Maybe she still has her old ones for me to look at. I've also got a spare set of unusable axles that I know are good to check as well. Not until later this week tho.

Same problem here..

Put your car on stands, put it in 1st gear and open the hood. Your engine should hover or push to one side, and you will see which axle is pushing it. If your looking from the front, and its pushing right its your passenger axle, and vice versa. More likely though its the longer axle, and you should stop drag racing hehe

A damaged tire will cause the shaking the you described and it can be on just one tire, but usually you won't notice it until your running past a certain speed so check all your tires and if you notice anything strange then replace'em! Loose spark plug wires or damaged spark plugs can cause the car to shake uncontrollably too and you'll notice that right when you accelerate.
