ok its been happening over the past two - three weeks my car shakes violently in the front end so much that yesterday a can of pepsi cane out of the drinks holder. but her's the problem its been happening on and off it happens all round under breaking only once or twice partialy off throttle, on throttle at 100k off throttle slowing from 60k-30k and shifting down from 80k from 3rd to 2nd and just ramdom times.

btw mechanice has looked at the steering but im having no problems steering.
things ive checked

wheel balance has been done
tie rods are fine suspension spacers are fine

mechanic is checking wheel bearings on thursday and also just in case the drive shaft


anyway got any ideas also has this happened to anyone

im a bit worried cos it on and off and well i dont want a failure while im driving
cheers Rob

Im having something similar at present. however mine is only doing it under acceleration / load from about 50 - 90km/h. And its not the wheels. Had wheel balance / alignment done, and even bought new rims and had them aligned etc. Had drive shafts changed, wheel barings are fine, one engine mount changed... However its still happening.

Let me know what your mechanic comes up with. Might be a clue where i should look also...

Does it seem to be related to speed or engine revs? perhaps it could be something like the engine mounts?

engine mounts are fine was just thinking maybe gear box mount

I had an old Mitsu Scorpion which had a similar shake/shudder problem - especially if I went over ruts in the road or a railway crossing. (not sure if this is like yours)
My Power Steering box had broken off where-ever it was mounted to in the engine bay. A quick weld here & there and my problem was solved.

Gearbox mount... hmmm... have to check that one...

id think it sounds more like its missing. have you looked into that?

nope my mechanic is on a mission to find out though its got him stumped but he will check out the drive shaft tomorrow and wheel bearings and such plus im almost down to the rivits on my break pad so ill get them done to

sure when you off work if its today just msg me cos i gotta go to tafe till 2pm

when youre done that check why its missing at partial throttle.

ill ask him about a miss fire today cheers

can you get a pic of your gearbox mount by chance?

i can on monday get the pic of the mount,

ok yesterday he did some checks he did my breaks got them machined and new pads he checked the bearings but he is still not sure he put it up on the hoist and free wheeled in up to 120k and let it slow down and could not hear anything.

he also found my front left cv is cracked so its gona be replaced remember front left is where i think my problem is. while he is doing that he will take the drive shaft off and have a closer look as well a closer look at the wheel bearings.

also driving it home yesterday about forty k drive no shake but it will probably come back

problem solved well mechanic had to replace cv boot and found (sorry if i get this wrong) their was not enough grease or something like that in the joints for the cv which he said something is like a bearing so dunno just glad it got fixed


BTW is $90 bucks cheap for two cv boots to be changed. cos thats how much it cost

yep sounds right cvs are basicly multi position rotating bearings need grease or they will flogg out and cause vibration
