powertrain vibration

[00pontiac1971]

anybody have an idea what might cause a vibration only when acclerating.
im thinking cv shaft play or engine mounts.

CV shaft, most likely the tripot joints.

your car lowered? if so, you need engine mount spacers or shorter axles.

 

[00pontiac1971]

car is not lowered.

 

[02GT4door]

then it's 95% likely to still be your shafts, the inner joints are probably loose, atleast one of them

 

[Bio248]

^^^ yup.

 

[Abrasive]

Yep, CV shaft, just relaced one on a friend's GTP for the exact same reason.

Exact same thing that was wrong with mine. Passenger side tripot (inner) joint was all chewed up. Dealer had "fixed" a leaking boot under warranty, and here's what I think of their fix.
