h22a ek, vibration when i hit small dips in the road and turning right
(i have searched for weeks on h-t and other places, but nothing so please help)ok i have an h22a in my ek 98 cx, for a while now my car make this dull but loud and harsh vibration(not a clicking at all) when i hit bumps or dips in the road(happens when going straight but only for as long as i hit the bump or dip), and when im turning right over 5-10 mph it happens but the faster i'm going when i turn the more harsh it gets(happens when i turn right even on really smooth road). now i've read that its usually the axles. well i replaced the axles and it is still there. but when ever i'm turning left its fine it has never vibrated while turning left at any speed. also have read it could be: hub bearings, inner/outer tie rods, lower/upper ball joints, alignment.. please help. i just need some info before i spend a lot of money. thanks in advance.

uh i have never really looked at that, but i will tomorrow and let you know, i know my alternator comes close to the back of my head light. one more detail is when it is really cold out side(25-35) it happens almost 75% of the time im driving(its alot more sensitive but not harsh as normal) until it warms up a bit. Also i have brand new innovative mounts motor mounts that are extremely stiff.

Re: (h22hatch88)
its hard to help you with a noise over the internet, just get a decent size pry bar and push the shield away from the rotor through the rim
but like i said its not easy for me to identify a noise over the interwebz, keep me updated on your situation

I guess that your alternator is not hitting your frame rail and that you have scratched that possibility. Although I'm not sure that if it were hitting it would cause a low vibration. I have seen bad bearings cause similar problems. The car was a 94 hatch that would vibrate when turning left. They are pretty expensive so make sure you have checked everything else out before trying them. I have also seen bad rebuilt axles one after another, so I hope that you bought quality stuff.

yeah i bought some Innovative Mounts axles, for a 96-00 civic with an h22. my crank pulley is a good bit away from the frame so yeah thats not it. whatever it is i really need it fixed, im hoping its my tie rods or a ball joint, but if it is my bearings i'll have to fix it anyway lol.
