acceleration is smooth through first, then through second and third it vibrates bad. i am trying to figure out the cause, i know it isnt the differential or the tires, i have replace both recently. i was thinking unbalanced driveshaft or cv joints? the steering wheel isnt affected, so i assume it is in the *** end somewhere. i feel it in the seat and my mirrors shake and my hardtop raddles. When i am accelerating around a turn, the vibration is worse. any suggestions?

ok from your post i gather that it vibrates after 1st. gear. mainly 2nd. and 3rd.
does it happen under hard acceleration or normal pick up?

you also said that during turns it feels worse.
both left and right turns or only one or the other?

why did you replace the tires and diff., for this problem?
was the problem there before the new parts?

it vibrates under acceleration all the time, it is worse under hard acceleration though. If i am on the highway cruusin 70 mph in 6th and even tap the gas then it vibrates. it seems the higher the gear, the worse it is.

I know it vibrates when i make right turns, havn't really noticedit turning left.

I did not replace either due to the vibration. i have popped 2 differentials and now i have a ap2 diff. The car vibrated when i had the last differential too. my tires were shot so i got new ones, it was doing it before them too.

Did you lower your car? Its one of the CV joints that wore out. AP1's are known to have that type of problems. Also may need spacers.

Is your car lowered and do you have halfshaft spacers installed? Sounds like your CV cup wear spot is causing the vibrations...

the car has not been lowered, but has been drivin hard for quite some time and has around 85k on the clock. When i changed the differentials i didnt remove the axles, i just pried them off. maybe that could have cause premature failure?

is your suspension stock? maybe it's an axle

(just wanted to say the same thing as these 2 for the 3rd time)

ReddotsS2K

completely stock suspension for as long as i have own the car (since 60k)

i am, just on springs for now until i can save up for a decent coilover setup

i am thinking that i will take the car into honda for an all wheel alignment anyways since my steering has been shitty, and have them figure out wtf is wrong with it.

i worked all day, my jetta's starter took a **** so i had to ask some mexicans at a gas station to push start me, and then you throw my shitty driving s2000 on top of it and i hate life. i drove the bimmer today atleast, first time in a while. all this sadness gets me serious kind sir

my car is cosmetically perfect, except for the ugly wheels. there are only a couple things bothering me right now...

ride height
vibration
jerky steering
hardtop rattles
left mirror shakes too much

after i solve these i will be happy

i have heard they are trying to rid the world of people with a sense of humour. They will start with web site bannings and then public place bannings (in case people get offended), and then curfews.
