Okay, so I've tried a handful of things so far to get rid of this and after spending way too much money it is still not gone. I have a lot of vibrating when accelerating through 1st and 2nd and sometimes 3rd. The shaking here is not as bad if I accelerate very slowly. I am not darting from light to light as it is, I take it really easy so I mean going really easy.

Second, I have terrible vibrations from about 55mph on up. Shakes the steering wheel etc. Now none of this started until I replaced my axles originally, but since then I have replaced them again with no change. I have also replaced tie rods, tires, got a new set of wheels, new shocks up front.

I have a guess that it has something to do with my brakes rubbing on the drivers side. I think this because I've started to hear like a rubbing sound on the drivers side, but if that was the case wouldn't it pull? And would that cause shaking like described? Is there anyway that my rotors could have a bent spot on them from like warping or something causing it to hit on one spot and shake like that? I haven't replaced anything on my brakes since buying the car earlier this year. Yes I have had it aligned twice since I have lifetime alignment, my tires are brand new and balanced, checked balancing twice.

Trust me I'm lost here and tired of spending money. If I had any other Ideas I wouldn't be posting here yet ha ha!! Thanks for any pointers or suggestions on what to look at or someway to isolate what is casing the shaking. Thanks!

have you replaced your wheel bearings?I was driving my buddy's EG and he had a loud rumble noise while accelerating.I diagnose it as the wheel bearings.He got new ones pushed in and now no more rumble.

 

Did u get an alignment? Try that.

 

did you not read the post? he said he had it aligned twice.

 

maybe the tie rods are still loose
or check the axle nut.
just trying to help

 

Cool, I will. How would the tie rods be loose, just asking. What parts would be loose?

 

where did you get the axles? sometimes Vatozone axles are DOA.

Also, have you balanced your wheels lately?

 

i was thinking about adjustables, my bad. but, the nut on the tie rod end may not be torqued
here is what you should do....
jack up the front of the car and put it on stands.

grab your wheel from top to bottom and wiggle it hard.
do the same way from side to side ..try to make something move.
then do the other side , have someone for an extra set of eyes.

if everything is stiff, then it might be in your tire/wheel.

 

I just got Autozone axles, by that point I couldn't afford anything else. I'll have to jack it up and see if I can find some play that way then. I had the tires balanced and then checked again, they are solid. I'm looking for less obvious culprits at this point, like if someone had something unexpected cause it one time that wouldn't be usual. I think I've covered the obvious big stuff by now but hey maybe not

 

I notice you didn't say if you changed your rack end bushing or not?That could be the culprit.

 

Well there is always something I didn't know about isn't there ha ha. I'm going to assume I didn't, what is that and where exactly is it?

 

its a white plastic bushing that centers your rack and pinion.you can see it when you take out your inner tie rods.I believe it's gonna be on the passenger side.

oh yeah there also a bitch to get out with the rack and pinion in,It took me 2 hrs to do it with the rack and pinion in.

 

Dam people so touchy! Lol

 

maybe it could be the rack itself?

 

The rack itself wouldn't cause vibration.it would be the rack end bushing.if your steering wheel has play you would need to readjust your rack.
