◄► Shaking problem after 20mph ◄►

[RonJ]

ALIGN IT! <<<<< that's the first thing you need to do after working on suspension/axles.

inspect the ball joints with everything disassembled . sure the nut could be tight, but the inside of them could be bad.

correct the tiny bit of play in your tie rods.

did you inspect the steering rack and pinion system?

I would not think that the suspension would be the culprit if the shaking occurs with the car raised on a lift (see videos).

 

[Hecz]

So, we've ruled out suspension and axles? where's the video btw?

 

[Martian SI]

what kind of shaking are we talking about?

 

[RonJ]

You guys should read the thread and view the videos in post #10:

To me it looks like the axles are wobbling?

I agree, but if you read the thread, the axles have already been replaced three times.

the wobbling is not normal, correct?

 

[RonJ]

the wobbling is not normal, correct?

Right. But the key question is "what is causing the axle to shake or wobble?"

 

[Hecz]

Yes.

the axles is attached to the Knuckel. Has the knuckle been rulled out? the axles is also attached to the trans/transaxel, has that been ruled out?

 

[frankmoocivic]

Has anybody suggested the gear box?

 

[ekjose]

problem fixed!

driver side axle was too long.

 

[RonJ]

Wrong or bad axle?

 

[ekjose]

idk if it was wrong or not but it was an inch to long

 

[Hecz]

some times the clerks at the autoparts store CAN give us the wrong parts. The axles could be incorrect ones.

yea, sucks when that happens.

 

[frankmoocivic]

You bought three sets of axles and they gave you the axles an inch to long all three times?! Pick a new shop man.

i got them from 2 different places

does your bearing go waaahhh waahhh at certain speed like 40mph and up??
if so bad hub bearing which can cause vibration.

bad ball joint wouldn't make vibration but a thump noise.

bad inner tie rod wouldn't cause vibration either because i have them,u just fight more with the road.

bad rotor would cause vibration when u are stopping.

bad alignment would make your steering go wacky but wouldn't cause vibration.

nothing above^^ then is most likely be your gay ass cv joints,go buy oem. or u install them incorrectly.

i change my rear main seal couple days ago and no vibration here.
