next round of problems!!

first off b18b swapped civic

anyways between 4-5k rpm i get this horrible vibration that feels like its coming from the front driver side corner of the car, it also happens if i hit a large bump or something but ONLY if its between 4-5k
got up under the car and nothing feels loose, axle's have no play or anything in them
ideas?

thanks in advance

What kind of axles do you have?
oem or aftermarket?

it might be a misfire that only makes itself noticable at higher rpms. my dads galant used to do it from 2.5 to 3. 2 of the injectors were sticking but i just duped a **** ton of injector cleaner into the tank and by the end of the tank it ran fine. on another car i was selling i sprayed the engine down with water to clean it and after that it ran like ****. at lower rpms it ran fine but if you throttled it from about 3 and up it started runnin like **** reason why it had water inside the spark plug well and im sure the distributor cap as well. i never fixed that problem i just got rid of the car but im sure all i had to do was let it evaporate or sum.

i had some tires on my hatch that had ended up getting warped and the same crap happend around 4-5k...

[DecoyOctopus]

if your tires were "warped" then it wouldnt matter what rpm the engine was only thing that would matter is how fast you were going

[ATL_EG]

so i ****ed around with the axle's today and did nothing but make it worse, now it vibrates from 4k on so ima go get a new set of axles and see what hapens

[DecoyOctopus]

hey i got a brand new one ill give it to you for 25 bucks. idk wich side it is i just know its for a gsr with ABS. interested?

[1flysi]

I know lots of aftermarket axles vibrate. Do your axles still have the rubber balance thingy?

[turbob20]

possibly your axle looks good but if you take it out and its stiff and not loose its bad and your axle nut might be loose or your strut at the top or bottom. check all ball joints and retighten everything...better safe than sorry...
