Have your CV joints inspected.

 

If the vibration occurs under accel only then goes away under decel, it's most likely the inner CV joints.

If the vibration increases with speed and doesn't change under accel or decel. Tire balance, and checking for bent wheels is in order.

 

Really sounds like inner CV joints. you can swap them and not buy any parts. Search.

 

yea it just shakes when i accelerate then stop any other time. i havent even checked underneath the car. i was just curious if anyone has had the same problems. i was also thining it was the joint but i wanted to get a heads up.. thanks all. i will check them out tommorow.

 

anybody? i check it out today and it seems like there is lil bit of play from the axles to the differential. i dont know if thats common. i checked it out on my buddy's s2k and his has a lil bit of play but not as bad.

 

3 of us have already told you to target your CV joints. What else do you want to know?
Checking the play between the joint and the diff won't tell you what condition the joints are in. There's always some play there. Do what Billman told you or do it the hard way and take the joints apart and inspect them.

 

3 of the top mechanics on this site regarding S2000's tells you to check the CV joints. there's nothing more anyone can tell you. so, go get them checked.

 

oh i didnt know they were..thanks for the help.
