Hello all. I have a 2005 dodge stratus 2.7l SXT. It started a few months ago where under acceleration it would begin vibrating like crazy. Once i get off the gas it ceases. I recently replaced the rear motor mount thinking it was the problem (Motor mount was torn up so it needed to go anyway.) Just took it on another text drive and still have the same problem. Now its around 65mph and up it begins shaking in the front end like mad. Any thoughts or suggestions? I am starting to think it may be the lower control arms but im unsure. Recently had 4 new tires put on and a balance. Im about to take it in for an alignment(Current alignment isn't bad but who knows.) and a re-balance.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

As a caveat to the original post, i just rebalanced the front tires, while they were off, there is still no improvement in the shaking under acceleration at 55mph+. Also, when i turn left with acceleration, there is a popping noise and feeling coming from the driver front end side. Ideas?

 

Check your CV joints.

 

replaced the driver side CV joint, still vibrating but not as bad. boot was not broken on the old cv either.. Got a popping still when turning left under acceleration. I shook the tired when it was on the lift and doesnt appear to be the hub assembly.

 

Check your passenger side CV. I had a passenger side go bad on my 06, caused a vibration like this. In my case the vibration was from the CV being bad, but got wrongly diagnosed by 2 shops as being a bad Driver's CV.

 

Replaced the lower control arms. Boom! fixed.

 

Thanks for reporting back.
