Slight tap feel, cant really hear it though
When i am barly on the gas but in gear i can feel a tap through the petals. It only does it in gear, but when i accelerate i dont feel lt anymore. When i did my suspension i noticed the boot from my axel riped off do u think i could be dirt or just the axel being dry from the grease getting out.
Anyway its a 2000 coupe w/ a b16 gsr trans lsd, i/e, stock clutch/axels

i would bet its the axle, but regardless, you should have the joint re-packed with grease, and a new boot installed. You may have premature axle failure if you dont.

axle grease is common, but if you do it yourself, you'll have to use a split boot. Its cheaper, but not as reliable. If you want the boot back like it was stock, there's a machine that has to do it.

Yea, the cv boot is probably the culprit, just by a boot kit for like 5 bucks and repack it and it should last you a a while, depending on how much damage was caused before.

if you use the split boot, make sure you check it every once in a while to make sure the grease is still there, but i bet you'll be fine.
