this is my second s2000 both have had vibration that are very simular my first one was vey low but did no work out wat caused the vibration ,this one is stock and has a vibration uner load i dont think its the diff cause i have blown diff before and also sluffd the bearing i was thinkin drive shafts has any one had this problem before

 

It's probably pitted inner CV joints if the vibration goes away under decel.

 

Interesting. What causes the pitting?

 

its only when accel is it a common fault or rare

 

There is a TSB covering the issue, It's common enough they issued a TSB.

 

Do you have any idea what causes the pitting? If it's a common problem I'd suspect a defective batch of CV joints. ??? Or does it happen to all our cars after a time?

 

my first s2000 was really low and had a very bad vibration i changed them at least 3 times there were ok for the first 2 km then went back to the same problem .when i got sick of it i put it back to standed height it made it 80% better but still had a slight vibration but thought it might of been from the wear and tear of it bein so low i now many people with s2 lowed but have had no proble but ther again there wernt noay as low so now iam stuck ive driven hondas all my life thought ill give the s2 a second chance and its happend again well iam goin to change the cv and see how i go

 

It's more common on the 00-01 cars, but they also have the most miles and wear. Possible metallurgical issue, but I can't say with any certainty.

 

Good info, Slow. This will keep me from thinking (right off the bat) that my diff is going out when (and if) my inner CV joints develop this problem.

I've seen pitted CV joint balls before and it has always been related to a damaged boot, so I would have probably had a hard time diagnosing this properly. Thanks!

 

do you feel the vibration when accelerating in a straight line or during hard corners only?
