I have a 92 Teg w/ a JDM B16A. My car has been "shaking" alot under load. Its mostly under 5000rpms and it goes away after 55-60kmh. Im almost positive of the culprit of the issue; My passenger side axle, right where it goes into the case has UP/DOWN play in it when u grab it. Why is that. I had the tranny apart and looked @ diff bearings and they looked to be good. Is my diff bad from having 2 driver side axles in for about 500 milesor so???

Thanks in Adv to all who reply .....

 

It's not suppose to have up and down play. I would be pretty sure it's your axle too from your simptoms.

 

are they new axles or remanufacutred?

 

remans. This prob has been for a like a month and I cant figure it out. i felt my boi's DA and his nas NO PLAY AT ALL!

The car shakes under any load and goes away when off the gas. and also goes away after 60kmh.

1. new pass/driver side axle
2. new innovative mount kit
3. new upper control arm bushings
4. new clutch and flywheel

 

bump for more info

 

b.u.m.p. a.g.a.i.n.

 

inner joint of the axle is bad, i just went through that same problem, replace the axle, you wont be sorry!

 

I don't quite understand why you keeping bumping when you obvisiously know what might be wrong. I understand you want to know for sure but it would better if you actually take stuff out and check for yourself. It's not hard to perform an axle job. Everyone that is giving you advices are just basing on their passed experience. No one know for sure really without actually being there.

Now other things to look for when you are doing your axle replacement are hub bearings, ball joints, tie rods, and wheel balance/alignment. These all are contributing factors to your symptons. You are getting vibration from your new axles because remanufacture axle are crap! I went through 2 of them in 3 months. They are only good because of the lifetime warantee.

 

Personally, I have shatter a differentail due to shearing off the contact point for where the bearing is. This lead to the spider gear meshing up and it all when down the drain from there. If you have that much noticable play, you would have more than just vibrations at low rpm. You would get a really loud thump intermittenly (like your axle are poping out while in gears. Hey are you using the correct axle/intermediate combination? You aren't using a intermediate from an auto are you?


Check out my previous post regarding bad differential:

diff gone bad

 

Its more than a vib. its more like a shake. What axle intermediate shaft setup is everyone using on a DA with JDM B16A?? Cuz its more like its coming from the driver side cuz the change in my door shakes and I tried puttin it in the pass door and nowhere near as bad?

 

Sorry but BUMP

What i wannted to ask is, are you using an intermediate shaft from an auto or manual tranny equip motor? You cannot interchange those. If you are using an auto intermediate and your tranny is a manual, the bolts will offset a little bit. If you force the bolts in, your differential will be damage...that could cause the vibration and later on...kaboom. That happened to me.

 

well I used the int. shaft from my stock LS motor. I dont think thats the issue cuz it was fine when i first did the swap. Could the actual intermediate shaft be bad, like the bearig cuz i know the rubber around it has play in it.

Also I wanna put it on a lift and ruin thru the gears but my car will only shake like this when under load like if the wheels dont have force and load agains em i dont think it will do it, cuz it mostly does this when going up hills in 3rd or 4th. How can I simulate this on a lift or how can I see whats shaking with out driving my car up a hll with my boy strapped under the car??????

 

to da top...

 

sounding like the diff bearing is toast......

 

didn't you say that you had your differential bear looked at just 500 miles ago?

 

Yes by a Chrysler tranny tech @ my job. And I brought the entire diff to Honda and had a tech there look at it, he spun it back and forth and looked for play. He said it looked good to him but now I am getting people still telling me that the diff bearing is the culprit. Is their any way to tell if this is definitely what it is? Wouldnt it leak fluid if it was the bearing???

If you have both the axles out already, take a screwdriver and pry out the both the axle seals. With your hand or some object, test to see if there is any play on the differential bearing. It should zero play. That is just a suggestions but not a clear solution. if I were you, I would take the tranny out and inspect it personally.

If you say that there is that much play on the axle due to the diff bearins, are you hearing some sort of whinning noise while in gear?

A bad differential doesn't mean you will be leaking fluid...it mean your axle seals are bad or you pour in too much fluid.

 

I had the bearing looked @ by a chrysler tech plus it makesno sound while in gear??

new axles seals when we pulled the trans 1mo. ago to check the problem....
