so i searched on this and found a bunch of people having the same problem but i never found any answers in it.

the problem: Bad vibration under acceleration and turning left. it stops when i turn right and it stops when i get off the gas. AND IT ONLY COMES FROM THE DRIVER SIDE

wats been changed:
outer tie rod
knuckle
axles - **THREE TIMES**


it feels like a flat tire or like if my axle wasnt sitting in all the way.. but i know for sure that it is.. and the axle has been replaced 3 times. the steering rack LOOKS good. its not my wheel bearing (in the front at least). only other history i know of the car was that it was in a rear fender bender a while back..


any ideas or answers??

the car revs out fine when in neutral and driving so its not motor or clutch related. ive heard that the rear crossmember could be an issue, but wat would i look for on it

 

i missed that but ill check tomorrow morning.. i have new mounts rotors and brakes pads going in tomorrow. when i've checked the car all the bushings and ball joints look good and everything seems solid

 

my car does the same exact thing!! only it kind of sounds like the car is bottoming out and my tire is rubbing against somthing but i see no visible tire wear. it also does it if i go over a bump or small dip in the road at speeds over 45 and only when i make a sharp right turn or when im on a right curve. could this be stock shocks going out? FYI i have a b18c1 in a crx with stock suspension.

 

i've never heard of shocks causing so much vibration.----but that would be something i havent checked yet. your problem sounds the exact same as mine. can anyone say shocks can cause such an issue?


im about to raise my car on all 4 points.. to inspect and take pictures. i'll post everything i find out. i know for sure my mounts are bad.. so thats something im going to be changing today aswell. i'll post results

 

is the vibration isolated to the front driver side only for you too ???

 

Bring your car to a tire shop and check if the tires are balanced(not sure if thats the right word), since your making vibrations at higher speeds this could be the problem. Or if its vibrating at higher rpms, it might be the motor mounts.

 

its not the tires.. i moved them around to see if the vibration moved with it .. and that wasnt the case....

and for me the problem is low and high speed. i re-installed the mounts and that made a big difference.. the person that had this car before must have not known what they were doing..

now a BIG THING i found today was that the front brakes aren't ******* match.. i have one integra knuckle and one crx knuckle. its too late for me to run to the junkyard now but i'll be getting a matching set of tomorrow...

question: is having that mismatching set enough to cause that flat tire feeling or could i still have another problem i haven't found? i know the drivetrain is sensitive to weight differences but i've never seen this before and dont see how it would cause that flat tire feelling


edit* --- dont buy cars that come from hialeah, FL lol

 

bump for an answer man. my car is doing this on my driver side, but i need an alignment, i have bad rotors and my car sits really low on that one corner. so when i fix all this i will report back.

 

The only thing that comes to mind is motor mounts. Maybe it's something in the differential?

 

I was having a similar problem for the better part of 18 months... but noticed that when i got closer to stock ride height it went away. I put in a set of Raxles made for a b-swap (basically DA CVs with an inch taken off the shaft) and my car is as smooth as OEM.

People always told me DA axles were the right axles for my swap, but when the suspension was loaded at ride height, the axle felt WAY too tight ( I tried AZ, OEM and napa axles, all the same ).

But i'll tell you what.... that was the best $320 I've spent in a while.

 

mine ended up being my wheel bearing. i had to have it repressed in because it came out some. i also got an alignment and put on a new axle. it seems to have went away now.

to the OP are you sure its not your wheel bearing? i had mine replaced less than 6 months ago but it wasnt pressed in very good so it came out some. lift your car up and shake your wheel left and right see if it moves any.

 

do you have a b-series swap??
if so make sure you have the correct half shaft, and it is completely in the trans

 

well i never found my problem.. i ended it up selling the car as is. the shop couldnt figure out what it was. they kept telling me axle.. but i kept replacing axles with warranty and nothing same results....it was something else causing the axle to bind.. i thuoght it was a bushing but i have no idea..

my car was stock motor .. just lowered a bit. i went back to stock height and problem still persisted

 

That sucks. My saturn had a vibration during high speed under hard acceleration, traded it in for an eg=] yesterday!
