Just like the title says, I got an issue here and I need help fast.... Here is my problem, My car shakes, vibrate, wobbles from left to right on 3rd and 4th gear only when im giving throttle on the gas pedal? I can't seem to figure it out. I re balance all my tires, have'em rotated and i still get the same problem. What could it be.....Need expertise advise here.

 

it could be ball joints, tie rod ends, warped rotor, or bad axle. What wheel is it coming from?

 

Sorry this is what I have replace recently, My ball joints, axles, rotors, and break pads. Im dont know what wheel its coming from but my dash moves and gas pedal moves basically all my front end moves.

Like the axle bolt....

 

What else could it be besides the axles.... I had them axles on for about 3 months now... I dont think its the axles but i can be wrong. Help?

 

Is it vibrating when you are giving it gas, when car is moving(with your foot off the gas), or both?

It only wobbles on third and fourth gear when im giving it gas. From third gear to fourt gear im already at speed up to 45-65 mph

 

could also be bad front lca bushings.

 

All sound like possible problems, but I'm saying it has something to do with your axles. Have you checked them out and made sure everything was tightened up to par?

I believe the only thing that needs to be tighten is the axle nut... But its on pretty good!!!!

What do you mean by my *"blackie"*?????

 

The stock rims on my civc when the hub caps is off.. Its all black.. So I call it blackies.. Some ppl call it steelies.

 

it could also be your transmission..

 

check your motor mounts... they can do some wierd **** if theyre worn out or broken.

 

The axle nut socket size is 32MM. The correct torque for the axle nut is 134FT/LB. Don't forget to "stake" the nut after torquing.

 

Check the rack and pinion. If you've hit something or been hit you might have frame damage.

 

So for those who replied to this post and said it was due to bad axles..... Im gonna do just that and replace my old axles that aren't even a year old yet and put in some newer axles..SO, till tomorrow?

I was researching on other topics with the same problem that im having and i found one, but this guy started having the same problem as me after he drained and refilled his tranny... My issue just happen out of nowhere.... I was coming home from work shifting to 3rd to fourth and i got this wobble, vibrating annoying issue. If the new axles im installing tomorrow wont fix the problem im gonna assume it might be the tranny. But if anyone thinks other wise lemme know your 2cents?
