hey i am getting some slight vibration in the steering wheel while im in boost. It almost feels like a misbalanced wheel but it doesnt vibrate at any certain speed, just when im in boost. Misbalanced wheels usually constanly vibrate at a certain speed...

Any ideas on what it might be? I just replaced both axles so i know they arent the cause. im thinking maybe ball joints?

Its not super sever but i notice it and would like to resolve it. Maybe a loose motor mount?

input please!

 

Could be a half-shaft

 

ah really? i didnt know halfshafts could go bad?

is there any way to tell for sure.

it only happens in hard acceleration/boost its not HEAVY vibration but i notice it...

 

you think maybe the new axle i got wasnt greased? I purchased it from advance auto and assumed they greased it cause if they didnt thats just absurd.

Of course, if its not greased i would expect a lot MORE vibration than what im getting...

 

Im having the same problem. Bump for some info's

 

 

i had the same problem...at least symptoms. after a long track day, i was getting some vibration when i floored it..

turned out to be a out of balance wheel.

 

if you coast and it doesnt shake its most likely an axle joint. go under the car and grab the joint and see if it has any play in it..its usually the inner one that connects to the half shaft

 

yeah i broke that same inner one on stock axles like 6 times hehe
then i got gators with no problems as of yet

 

my buddy had the same problem....he replaced the ball joints and it fixed the problem

The new half shaft was probably greased, however I've had a brand new (reman) shaft break after only 2 weeks of very civilized driving, the reman units just aren't that great in general. I ended up buying a brand called A-1 Cardone, which hasn't given me any problems. The reason I mention halfshaft is because my symptoms were similar when my original outer joints were going bad.
