Default Odd vibration under accel

2000 model with 103k on the clock

For 2 days now have been having his vibration under acceleration. From what I've read, I'd say its the inner CV joint - but I read the TSB and it said above 30mph. Mine will vibrate in 1st gear all the way up to 6th.


Also, my vibrating almost sounds like going over uneven pavement, and the frequency is proportional to the speed of the car.

All the other symptoms seem like the inner cv joint issue, just wanted to see if anyone else experienced what I have.

Are you lowered? From what I've read after loweringthe spider tremels over the two wear spots causing the vibration( lowering changes the geometry of the suspension and where tge spider sits). If your not lowered it may be something else

I'm lowered (1.5"ish), and have been for quite some time.

It will happen even if you are not lowered.

Just an update, in case anyone searches this thread. Did the inner CV swap and it cleared it up. Other than an Axle nut being a bitch (broke 2 craftsman 1/2" drive tools and 1 harbor freight breaker bar), it was a pretty simple job.
