vibrating when accelerating, why? is mmy tires are bad or axles puttn in poorly, bad alignment, or bad tires? it vibrates when i floor it on 1st, 2nd, 3rd

 

too much vteck?
wheel hop?
tires bald and unbalanced?
missing wheel weights?

 

 

if it only shakes when you are on teh gas, and stops when u let go, its mostly likely ur axles. or in more rare cases a bad differential or differential carrier bearings

?...... It didn't really make too much sense... but I was thinking wheel hop. I wonder what he has done as for modifications? Could be a number of things.

Does it accelerate with power? or is it sluggish and vibrating... could be a spark problem.

 

Could be something as simple as crappy and/or bald tires.

Does this only happen when you accelerate HARD, hard enough to lose traction, or does it happen ANY time you accelerate?

 

if its only on acceleration it the axles. when you get off the gas it stops.

 

It could also be worn engine mounts. Some 30 dollar energy suspensions inserts fixed that problem on my old GSR.

 

Mine does the same thing just a little bit but it also vibrates just driving at 60 and above. Ive replaced tires, an axle, shocks, and had like 2 alignments all in the past year and has yet to improve. I was told by a Honda tech that it could have something to do with a steering component but haven't had any of that checked out yet. I hope you figure it out.

yes, only vibrates when i accelerate hard. feels like i lose traction when i hit the high rpms. im thinking either my tires or axle. and or alignment 2

in this case if it is my axle, will it vibrate even when im just driving normally and shifting at 3k? my car drives smooth but only vibrates when i punch it

I could almost promise you its worn engine mounts.... You feel it most when you give it alot of gas, no matter what gear you're in.

Mires you should check this out too... it'd be a cheap fix if that was infact the problem

 

i find a great deal on energy suspension motor mounts.. should i buy em to see if they fix my problem or should i buy the motor mounts?

Is there a way to check if they are bad?? They look perfect to me. No cracks or anything but I haven't inspected them really close or anything. My R does have about 145,000 miles on it though but I don't know how long they usually last.

 

take one off, inspect it, if it looks to be ok... then re-install it, then move on to the rest doing it the same way...

if you see 1 is bad or cracked in any way replace the inserts on all of them

 

After 145,000 miles, yours definately wouldn't be in good condition. Even if they are, its a good mod that costs $30 dollars and takes an hour to do (unless you feel like sacking up and doing the rear one too which is harrddd). Energy Suspensions says that if your mount is damaged, that you should replace it THEN use their inserts, but I've had no problems using the inserts on busted motor mounts.

 

can you shake the motor with your hands?

 

im having a simliar problem,

i've narrowed it to

wheel bearing,
shock,
motor mount,


i would check your suspension bushing, upper control arms for play,
or even a loose rack n pinion

 

thats some text message lol
