Ive been having a violent shaking during accelation, and I checked out my CV boots. I reaplced the passenger side one less than a month ago, and the other one ripped, so i was certain that it was my problem.

After i replaced the whole Axle on the drivers side, The shaking still was there.

I rotated my tires, and the shaking went away.

My question is.


What is up with my front tires???? Would a flat spot cuase the shaking? or did maybe a weight come off to make them unbalanced?


Thanks everyone

 

it could be a bad axel. sounds weird i know cause you just replaced that one. but the thing is i got a new one from napa like a month ago put it in and it was bad. like scary to drive. turns out it did not have the lil balancer on it. got another new one and it works perfect. maybe just bad luck like me

 

its not the boot its the actual joint that goes bad....usually on my car its the driver side one...

just grab the inner joint and see if it moves side to side.....it could be a combo of unbalanced tires and an axle

 

does your axle have the harmonic balancer?

 

if you changed ur front tires to the rear and it stopped..maybe the wheel needs to be balanced or its bent

 

Yeah both axels are brand new, and also once i rotated the Front to Rear, the Vibration stopped.

I dont think my wheels are bent, but im thinking the balancing is off. Any other opinions?

 

did u torque down yor axle nut and lug nuts?

 

if it went away when you rotated your tires it has to be A. tire B. wheel. Yes a flatspoted tire will do this i have had it happen before the only thing to do is replace it or do a burn out till is all the way smooth around. then drive on it regular for a couple days then balance again. also when you balace your tires the machine will usally tell you if the wheel is bent unless its a cheap machine.

Should i try to get them balanced first to see what it is? Is there any way else to tell what exactly was causing teh vibration?

Thanks for the reply

 

i posted about this about a month ago, it was a combination of things for me, allignment, old tires with some flat spots, and now i think i have a CV Joint problem, either way im taking it back to the shop to have it alligned because they did a shitty job last month, 3 out of 4 tires have mad camber (tilted in at top) makes turning vibrate
