Hello all, I've got a problem thats recently developed in my 2001 Grand Prix that I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas with.

It started last week on a long drive home when I got on the interstate and noticed my front end shaking from side to side once I hit about 40mph and all the way up to 65mph.

It's progressively gotten worse since then. I've noticed that it ONLY happens when I am accelerating. If I let off the gas, it quits completely.

I can't tell that it's any worse or any better when I go into a curve.

Any ideas?
 


Bad CV joint in one or both axles. Usually the inner tripod joint does that. Mine would vibrate on acceleration and anytime from 60-70MPH. Replaced both axles and found the tripod joint on the passenger side was all chewed up.
 
Check your front lower control arm bushings, they have a habit of wearing out and allowing the lower control arm to move laterally.
