Default HELP . Vibration when acceleration...

(NOTE) i used to get WAY WAY worse vibrations, my steering wheel would shake....now that im still getting vibrations.....

I recently replaced my wheel bearing,the end tie rods, driver side axle, both axle seals, replaced my whole passanger side control arm..... balanced my two front tires ...but haven't got an alignment....but alignment causes tire wear not vibrations.....

let me explain my situation a little better, if im driving regular speeds i dont get shaking or if im traveling on the freeway i don't get the shaking but if i get on it from 2nd to 3rd my windows shake(my windows or off track) but still, and it feels like somethings not right.

FYI my motor mounts or shot, my tranny post mount is missing, my headers are hitting my oil pan under my car so could this be the problem (vibration)? im asking before i go spend 60 dollars on an alignment and drive home and still have the shaking ill get mad because i dont have money to spend right now


Also my Rack in Pinion doesnt look to good when my mechanic had my car in the air, (Note i dont have P.S or Pump anything that goes with it...would that make my car drive not smooth? IM SHOOting for SMoothness guys....

you need to replace the worn/damaged mount(s) before attempting to diagnose. they may very well be the problem.

and if you ever think the problem is wheel related, you can try swapping the fronts to the back and see if it changes things.
but fix the mounts first.

also, just to note, aside from excessive play in the joint(s), a worn axle joint can not be detected unless taken apart completely. or they make noise/click when turning

the mounts is probably the problem. my whole motor has shifted to one side, and my tranny post mount bolt isnt there no more......

i plan on fixing my mounts with in the next couple weeks and just replace this tranny......

yea you said your mounts in your very first post. do not make threads when you have a list of broken crap. fix it first then make a thread if that doesnt work because regardless thatll have to be replace. and if your entire engine has shifted i wonder why its grinding and shuttering and doing all sorts of crazy ****. is this really what america has come to.

That's weird. That exact same thing kept happening to my '01 Ford Explorer. You almost have to come to a complete stop just to get the vibrating to stop (which means pulling over to the shoulder on the freeway -.-).
