Hi, just the other day my car started a very strange all around vibration problem under load... Perfectly fine when no throttle is used..

Given this i brought it to the shop, They said my passanger side axle was toast. I had already had my drivers side changed a few months ago, I gave them the go to fix this. On the drive back home.. it's still doing the same vibration.... only when applying throttle, and it gets worse the more throttle given... I was thinking maybe the tranny mount as i changed both motor mounts to solid ones and never did the tranny mount.. But that seems far fetched as tranny is uber solid when i tried shaking it by hand...


Any idea's on what it could be? It seems much too violent of vibration to be a worn clutch...

The shop said its because my passanger side wheel needed to be aligned.. But i just bought all 4 brand new wheels/tires for the winter use only and cannot see it out of wack.. Even so.. If the wheel was mis-aligned.. Wouldnt it be a chitty ride all the time and not just under throttle?

By the way.. the vibrations are so bad that i cannot trust the car to go 40min to work, and the shop is closed.. So i must bring it there tomorrow.

Any idea's before i go back would be nice.

BTW i am also pissed at that for going ahead and ordering a pass side break line for me , as the one on it is worn in a spot that looks like they hit it with a grinding wheel for a second and go... yeah thats so worn, i went ahead and ordered that part $80, should be in tomorrow, Sad to say i price checked it for $18.98 at advanced...


But all that aside, im more pissed the problem i had with my car is still there. And will be giving them my anger tomorrow...

P.S I know they did change the axle and not just say they did because it had bad outter cv bearings that i know about because that axle use to pop alot and now doesn't.

Does anyone here know if you replace your motor mounts with solid ones , and not your tranny mount... if the tranny mount blows apart and causes insane left to right wobble with appyling throttle only? If thats not the case.. I should look elsewhere at the problem, before bringing it back to the shop..

 

front end wobble is ususally one of a few things....

axles
rims
motor mounts

those are by far the three things that cause the most issue. check all of them. and go to a new shop, you don't sound like you have much confidence in these guys.

 

Both axles are new (re-manufatured from dealer)

I threw a different set of wheels/tires on then when the problem originated.

I have all solid motor mounts, aside the factory tranny mount, which i ordered a solid one today, but i shouldn't have for a good week or longer.


The shop can't look at it again till saturday, the guys said maybe the carrier bearing is shot, I am lucky my girlfriend can leave work early and bring me to work all week so far,

you bought rebuilt axles??? [:@]and fyi - dodge does not "remanufacture" axles. they're either new or broken, those are your only options lol.

check your mounts again, make sure that the bolts didn't come lose. also, get new axles. and don't ever buy rebuilt ones, get new ones.
