I've searched but couldn't find anyone with this same issue on here. What I'm experiencing is at low speeds, whether in gear accelerating or cruising with the clutch pedal to the floor, I can feel/hear my 1st gen V shaking. This doesn't happen at all around 5mph or when I'm past 20mph. I'm gonna be changing everything out pretty soon, but I just wanted a bird's eye view of what to actually look for and what exactly to change so I don't empty my pockets for things that don't need to be changed.

[edit]

Sorry...I don't know how to explain it any other way. Around 10-20 MPH, whether in gear or in neutral just coasting, the whole car shakes/rattles. So I know it's not the motor/transmission. Bent rim? Warped tire? Alignment? Bushing? Bent Axle/Tie Rods? Bad ball joints? Just wondering if anyone has had this same issue and what they changed out to have it resolved.

 

vague post

 

Likely something out of balance. Wether it's a tire/rim or a shot u joint. Pretty difficult to tell over the Internet. Sorry.

 

yeah, have the front wheels balanced first...(or all 4)
and go from there...

 

LOL, yeah I figured as much. Just was wondering if anyone had the same experience and what they changed out to fix the issue. Won't have anytime to do anything till next weekend, and was just looking for some insight. Thanks though!

 

Sorry we can't be much more help. Checking the u joints is easy and takes very little time. Use a lot of force and look on the yokes for damage

 

First things to check at home are the PSI, if the lugs are loose, lift up the V and check the tire by holding 12/6 and 3/9 oclock and shaking it.

 

dang it...I didn't want to believe it, but it's definitely the U Joints that are bad. balanced the tires for free yesterday due to buddies working at an autoshop, and checked from underneath and U Joint was loose. I didn't think the U Joints would go bad on me...now I've got a month long project in hand...
