my buddy is lowered on ajustible coilovers, on his 4th gen, its pretty low, but somtimes when he hits WOT the car like shakes,i thought it had to do something with his alignment, he needs one bad, but could it be th suspention takin a **** on him or is it most likely the alignment? any ideas?

 

Broken motor mount.

 

i'd say mounts or the axles. i just replaced an axle on my car. if i got over 6k rpm it would shake like crazy. you could see the dash move 1/2 inch, seriously. so make sure his axles and cv joints are good.

 

bump, anything else? thanks 4 input guys

 

ok, took her out for a test drive this morning...and well my axles are fucked, and it sounded like a rotating noise when driving like 5-10mph after HARD SHAKING wow it sounds like the axle wasent even in all the way, well i got to house safely and discovered this.

hmm i wonder whats wrong

 

Your CV joints are toast, replace the axles. Once that rubber boot goes, and dirt gets in there, they are pretty much done. It's not that bad of a job.

 

just did mine a few weekends ago
a lot easier than i was thinking.
have fun getting all the grease off the car

 

your dr. side axle...(second pic I think)....that is what my pass. side axle looks right now (new axle install)...the gap like that. I can't push it any further in or back it out either.

 

I am hacking this thread since someone can not do their job on here. I have been a member for 2 months and I am still a restricted trial user.

Could a mod update my account.

 

Yeah get those replaced. Igot my axles from umm CarQuest. Which i didnt even know still exist but they have every part for my 4th gen i could want. It made this terrible terrible grinding whenever i turned. Embarrasing. Anyway...your crank pulley is all chipped too. Not that its high pri or anything.
