HELP!!!! Car shaking upon hard acceleration
Okay I was in a minor accident a month ago, and after getting my car back together and everything fixed, It still has a minor shake upon hard acceleration. But it goes away as soon as you get off the gas. Any ideas??? And also pulls to the left a little too.
anyone?
Were did you car get hit????

front end. I rear-ended a caddi
check axles, motor mounts
they look fine though. Anyone willing to take a look at it and see if you can see something I'm not?
Have you taken it to have an alignment done? It could have damaged, bushings, tie rod ends, bent control arms, wheels bearings. It all depends on how it was impacted. Take it to a GOOD alignment shop, not the cheapest person I can find.
And just b/c an axle LOOKS fine, doesnt mean that the bearings on the inside didnt get bent or broken. If the joints move properly then they are probably fine but any type of binding or roughness shouldnt occur.
^^ yea a good alignment guy will tell u right away if their is something bent or somethings wrong......

well I took my car to an alignment shop sat. And got everything ajusted back right. Alignment was out a little bit, but nothing crazy. But the same problem is still happening. It gota little better after the alignment, but the shudder is still there.
check the motor mounts probably they were affected with impact and its making your car vibrate under acceleration

Well if you got the alignment checked out and all your suspension did you check and see if your weights were still in your rims or if your rim was bent a lil?

yeah, all the weights are there i believe. I am thinking a motor mount cause I put on car on some jackstands, put it in gear and throttled it a little and it looks like the rear mount is boucing around like crazy
The T- bracket???

no the actual rubber mount
also don't rule out the possibility of a bad clutch.
if the car wasn't in an accident (with all the possibilities that brings up in diagnosis) you could also have a little bit of clutch shudder.
maybe some dust on the plate or spring.
try a good solid downshift and see if the same thing happens.

yeah, I meant hypothetically. those symptoms without the knowledge of an accident could suggest clutch shudder.
because it was in an accident you naturally troubleshoot based on the knowledge that it was in an wreck. theres also the possibility (however slim) that the problem has nothing to do with the accident and would have happened anyway.
just good to keep a dual natured frame of mind.
does it also shake if you accellerate while turning right or left?
Just my idea check motor mounts as well as your driveshaft angle. One common problem I've noticed in a few of my friends cars when they get into automobile accidents are that they driveshaft has been knocked out of its proper angle and will cause the car to shake and rattle upon acceleration.
How would you adjust the shaft angle without altering the height of the car?
UPDATE****
I put a new passenger side axle in tonight, and guess what??? The shaking is still there. I am thinking maybe a rubber bushing in the front LCA?? I am going to start replacing motor mounts and suspension bushings next I think. Anyone have ideas??
elingment
you mean alignment?? I already had one done this weekend
I FIXED THE CAR THIS WEEKEND THE DRIVER AXLE AWS BENT
ARE YOUR LUG NUTS TIGHT
yeah the lugs are tight. The problem was in the driver side axle. Thanks to my bro for completing the job for me!!
if i was you i would call your insurance company and have them pay for that shit.... awesome that you got it fixed though
if u got aftermarket motor mounts, like hasport and so on...pretty sure that might be the cause...well it was something to let you know, to see if it is....cuz i ride was fine until i upgraded the motor mounts, same with my buddys type r swap..!
