i went to the draggs yesterday and i almost beat a 350Z track edition. i think it was pretty good with I,H,E if i had the launch i think i would have taken him.. but couple runs and my car started to make a noes like a clump. when i brake hard and the weight shifts to the front makes another clump and then wen i put it in first and take off it does it agian. i dont konw if my controll arm is making it or my axle. would anyone know anything about this?

 

Check the axle.

Check your spare tire well for a loose jack, etc...

 

could be a broken motor mount?

wouldnt the axle shake real hard at high speeds thus the car would woble. right know i could go 80-100mph and the car doesnt even shake a little.

Check your spelling, then check your control arm bushings. They may be worn, causing the "clump".

 

since the clump i noticed that the car started to shake at high speeds. i didnt notice this before but now i do. i had a appointment with the acura dealers today, I told them my situation. they checked it out and noticed that the axle boot was leeking everywere and ordered another boot for the axle. the **** was leeking but there was no tere or ripp, they took it for a test drive to see if they could make the clump noise i told them about but they couldnt make the noise. so they want me to come down tomorrow and drive it to make that clump noise. im think its the axle thats making that clump noise. when they replace that boot to the axle wouldnt they check if the axle is good? and if it looks bad im thinking they would replace it under warrenty cause it was leeking. if it snapped it would be a different story, but it didnt.
sorry for the spelling
as you can see i cant spell
