I searched but couldn't find anything like the problem I am having. When ever I let go of throttle above about 30mph the entire front of car starts to vibrate. It does not vibrate at all during acceleration just when I completely let go of throttle. If I just give less gas without completely letting off it does not vibrate it is only when I completely let off throttle. Does this while in gear or when I put in neutral. Anybody have any ideas what this might be?

 

I forgot to add this on a crx with a b16 swap and I just swapped knuckles from a 91 integra because I had a bad wheel bearing and decided to use the integra knuckles for the bigger brakes.

 

your front end could be off align........trust me on this one.......i see this problem all the time......im a frame tech at a body shop......that car could have been wrecked before....if not. your k frame also could be off align.

 

when doing your swap

 

The problem just started occurring yesterday after I swapped the knuckles and brakes and did not have the problem before they were swapped.

 

ok that real good......now if thats the case. look at your cv shafts....the teath could not be llining up.....look at that and go from there.......a friend had a slimiar problem with his drive axles

Seriously? After what you said here, you're wondering what your problem could be?

IT'S THE KNUCKLES!

They may not necessarily be bad knuckles but like someone said before, you suspension geometry (alignment) could be suffering.

Another item that affects the suspension during accel and decel is the radius rod and its bushings. I had a radius rod bushing bold back off before and when I hit the brakes I'd hear a pop and the car would pull to the right. Make sure that your radius rods are on correctly, both on the LCA and the front x-member.

Mostly likely though... IT'S THE KNUCKLES!!

Good luck.

 

Turned out to be a bad axle Replaced axle and no more vibration

FANTASTIC!! I'm glad you got it figured out.

I'm going through the same thing (but putting off the work). It's like your "bad" axle doesn't let you know it's "bad" until after you make other suspension changes.... Axles have sadistic personalities.

IT WASN'T THE KNUCKLES!

Why does everyone always blame problems on the interga knuckles...if used correctly there is no problem with them

I only said it because of what he had said in the first post.

Usually, if you make a change to the suspension and there's a problem, it's from the parts you changed/replaced. In his case (and in mine) it's the axle that decided to show it's "defect" AFTER the said changes.... Hence their sadistic personalities.

nothing against you, but it just seems whenever someone says 'i did a integra brake swap' automaticly someone blames that.

Just bugs me, dont mind me.
