Ok, so i have searched as well as asked this question on another forum but never got a definitive answer.

I have a 96 GSR and a couple months after i purchased it, I started hearing noise during acceleration on the drivers side. As the next couple weeks passed it got a little louder. I'm also having some shaking of the car at speeds around 65mph and up.

My guess would be the drivers side axle could be my problem, at least with the noise issue. As far as the shaking, could it be that i need an alignment?

Thanks, any input would be awesome.

 

sounds like the axle. i'd just buy a pair of axles and change both

 

Thanks, i'm sure the noise is from the axle but i'm not too positive of that being the reason for the higher speed vibrations/shaking.

 

axles are your problem... as you've stated, you know that they do make noise but also when the inner CV joint goes (tranny side of axle) it can cause vibration in the car

If I were you I would stay away from autozone axles and would look into raxles.. they have a lifetime warranty and are built very well

 

axles buddy thats all chenge it and you are good. done

 

Perfect man thanks for the info, i've already found out sadly how garbage autozone axles are

 

Changed both axles a couple weeks ago and the noise is still there. Could it be my intermediate shaft like the part on the drivers side of the tranny that actually goes into the tranny?

 

I have a problem like that too.
Like when I go on the freeway the streering wheel shakes?idk
And like when I stop my rpm stays at like 1.5 rpm and it go's up and down like up to 2,000...
There is a screw on the intake manflod and I screw it in a little and it stops from going up and down.wired.any help???

 

I have an eg6 with ab16a swap by the way lol

 

Sounds like a wheel balancing/aligment is due. Your idle issue is due to a vacuum leak. Check all your hoses from your intake manifold and so on. The little screw in your throttle body is known as an idle screw. It allows a small amount of air to your engine, thus controlling your idle. I don't know why it is there, but its there for a reason.

 

You never specified what kind of noise. High pitch sreeching, low grinding, fast ticking, slow ticking, etc...describe you sound.

 

It's a low dooh dooh dooh noise coming from the bay in front of the steering wheel. It makes noise under acceleration, during cruising, and in neutral slowing down but if I'm turning right then the noise is almost non existant.

 

wheel bearing maybe ?

 

could be many things .. like axles ..alignment.. berrings hope you find it soon

 

sounds like a wheel bearing, does it pull right or left when u drive??

alignment is a must if it starts shaking at 65mph means bad alignment

 

Three week old thread, was the wheel bearing.
