ok i searched.. and no results found..

here's my problem

everytime i brake,accelerate or drive fast.. my car keep wiggling..

i don't know if it's my shock absorbers or i just need my tires balanced.. or maybe an alignment.

i don't know.. pls help!

thanks!

 

lift your car up and make it so the wheels are free moving. push and pull ont he top of the tire. if it has play, you've got bad tierods or cv joints. since you said it happens during acceleration, i would guess its your cv joints. rebuild kits are available, or if you can get your hands on a set of good condition used axels, you may end up spending a bunch less and doign a lot less work that way. this would be my first educated guess as to what it is.

 

hmm.. i hope it's not the axles or anything major to do..

maybe i would just take it to my mechanic.. and find out what's causing the problem.

thanks for the reply tho

if anyone has any more ideas on what is causing this problem it will be appreciated.

thanks

 

I had that problem when i had a bad axle, it also pulled/drifted to the side with the bad axle upon acceleration. Do you have any clicking indicating bad cv's?
Dont let mechanic do axles. Not hard, not major work. Trust me. I've changed axles and done trannys a total of about 9 times for myself and friends in the last 5 months. Not hard work. Assuming bolts and such break easy, its a hour max. Save the money. Autozone is your friend, liftetime guarentee

 

yeah man definately. axel swaps are simple few step jobs. all you gotta do is remove like what 4 bolts. its just your damper lca(?) and axel nut? drain your tranny so when u pop the axel out it doesnt go everywhere, and thats it. you just rotate the brake assembly away form the axel, pry the old axel out with a simple "pop," and then put the new one in. i'll tell u what. i am doing this exact same swap as soon as it gets warm enough, i will take VERY detailed pictures of EVERY step. you can follow it as a guide and save yourself a TON of cash. add ferencz03 to you AIM if interested and i'll let u knwo when i do it.

thanks for the help.. but my problem is fixed already, good thing it wasn't the axles or tie-rods, one of my tires had a bump inside. so i just had to replace the broken tire

thanks for the help offer, i appreciate that!

do u happen to know how to remove the front/rear shock absorbers? if u do, maybe you can help me with that one instead. thanks
