Default my car shakes like crazy!

I have a big feeling its the drivers side motor mount because it looks like its falling apart. But here are my symptoms. the car shakes when on the throttle and stops when off. The steering wheel shakes when the car is stopped. The idle goes up and down sometimes. What do you guys think it it?

yea check the mount better, could possibly be something wrong w/ the axle as well, but if it shakes just when idleing that wouldn't matter....

READ MY SIG!

Just get a new mount to start with, cuz you definately need one of those. Might just as well do them all while you're at it.

You sound like a jackass.

I'd be willing to be you have a BAD INNER JOINT on one or both of your axles.

Bad motor mounts usually cause a loud knock when you tap the throttle.

If it's a steady wobbling under acceleration only then I'd say it's an axle.

Do you know how to replace an axle?

Would you like me to show you?

Nope.

A bad alignment will cause the car to pull and/or have a crooked steering wheel and will cause uneven tire wear. alignments have nothing to do with vibrations.

How simple-minded.

Well fix the mount first and then see if you still have your wobbling.

It's possible that the broken mount is allowing the entire engine/tranny assy. to sit uneven, thus bunding an axle and causing it to vibrate worse. This would be a pretty extreme case though.

Has the wobbling/vibrating been the same ever since your mount has been broken?
