front wheels wobble under acceleration only
i just installed an LS motor into my eg coupe, and now the car wobbles horribly under acceleration! It feels a bit "unsafe" if you ask me. All of the bolts a nice and tight, and wheels are snug, and I am pretty sure the wheel bearings are good too. I drove the car with the D series in it just a few days ago, and it never did any of this. I need this car to run properly for an upcoming sale! Please help me!

and it doesn't really wobble at all while coasting. Only when I give it gas. It gets worse if I'm in a high gear at a low rpm too.

as suggested, check the axles.
also check to make sure your lug nuts are on there snug.
does the car shake at all during idle..?
check the motor mounts as well.

Ya the lugs are very tight! Motor mounts are as well, tie rods seem to be fine. No lateral movement when I lift the car anyway, and the axles look seated. Hmmmmm, ill try some axles, they were bought used anyway.

Re: front wheels wobble under acceleration only
sometimes what may seem to be an "ok" axle could very possibly be broken.
no sure way of telling unless you remove the boots and inspecting all joints.
even "remanufactured" axles can fail shortly after being installed.

Re: front wheels wobble under acceleration only
They are the 94-01 LS axles and intermediate shaft. the last swap I did with the same components worked great! I will get some axles tonight, and swap them. New ones!
hope you get it
