Default Slight vibration when accelerating.

Hey guys, what happens to my car is whenever I slam on the gas and accelerate, the car kinda stumbles and vibrate; but only under acceleration, it runs smooth while crusing at a normal speeds. It seems to be coming from the rear. I've had the MAP sensor issue before and it's not the MAP sensor for sure. I'm thinking that it might either be my differential or axles, but I'm not sure what it is. My car is lowered about 1.5 inch. Is this what happens to lowered cars without axle spacers? Or is my differential going out?

Likely need axle spacers. Although my car is lowered and I don't have that problem.

Yeah, my car was lowered for 3+ years, and this just started happening.

Also check your axles. This has happened to me on a couple S2000s and after a few months denial, i checked the axles and they had play in them. Worth a shot.

It's amazing how many times this topic has been covered.

Search axle bucket swap, no parts to buy $0.00.
