I did a search and did alot of reading..

I own a 97 GSR

I get a good vibration only under acceleration, mid rpms
I've had this like 8 months ago and it was a axle.

-Now I have it again, here all things I've tried so far.
So I installed to New Napa axles and it still there.
I have LS rims with ok tires, rotated them still there, but better
Swapped the rims and tire out for 15x7's with ok tires, better but still there
Brakes, there no vibration under hard braking, but I may change them anyway..
New Aligment, drives straight and I just checked all the nut and bolts I could find and snug them a little tighter, much better but still there.
There no odd noises and anything, just vibration. Check tire pressure and the wheels are tight.
As for motor mounts I have ES inserts and tops mount a prefect..

-Maybe its the intermedate shaft? But feels very firm, how to tell?

Maybe I should just buy some Raxels...

-Both Napa axles on have a little play up and down going into the intermedate shaft and tranny.

-Maybe just worn out lower control arm bushing. 130,000 and lowered for 110,000 of them.

-Maybe just a worn out streering rack, and now has play in it.

-How to tell if you need tie rod ends?

-Have a JDM ITR Tranny, how to tell if it a bad diff?

Any help would be great, Thanks

anyone?

 

I was going to say axle, but you already solved that. Might be the control arm, i'm feeling a little vibration as well. I've had some lower end damage. Did you check your tranny mount? That can cause vibration.

I'm no expert by any means, just some things you might want to consider looking into further.

Good luck

 

Motor mounts?? I only have about 95k on my car and my drive mount was totall broken

hey im chasing down vibration monkeys too....how to tell if its the tie rod, you jack the car up and grab the whell 3 to 9 jiggle it to see if theres and play

 

Could be a wheel bearing. Check out this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1166064

 

good reading thanks,

I'm replacing the rotors and brakes this weekend and I have check my wheels like suggested 3 times in the last week and they both feel firm. All my motor mounts are perfect...

I'll start the car in the air on stands and see if something suggests the wheel bearing..

I'm ready to replace every rubber bushing with ES bushings soon.
