^^^ Any way I can check that? Because i'm starting to believe that it is a speed-induced thing, all happens at 55km/h-65km/h on heavy throttle. Everywhere else, it's as smooth as a goose.

If an engine mount is gone, is there any way you can tell that it's gone whilst driving?

 

now what is this "pitting" im reading about?

 

CV cup wear.

onions2k I have the same problem. Both CV axles replaced(BRAND NEW) & I even installed spacers. All tires re-balanced & alignment done. STILL it vibrates just not as much as before. I can feel the rear shaking a bit while @ high speeds & sometimes under acceleration the rear left still vibrates. This has been annoying me to the point where I'm thinking about selling the S & just buying a car without so much problems. The S has been the most headache I've had.

 

mounts or wheel bearings?

 

Yeah... Before I lowered it, I installed spacers.. and it was so dreamy... what I expected... but after I got my coilovers in, it was round 2 of this thumpage.. I'm starting to think it's my mounts... Because shifting is becoming harder and harder for me...

Gotta have a major overhaul over the weekend I guess, will keep everyone updated.. Also have engine-damper on its way, so see if that helps..

Won't be the wheel bearings for me, as mine is really only apparent at 55km/h-69km/h roughly, in any gear besides 1/2 - and atleast 70% load.. If I baby it (45% feathering load), it's okay..... but S2Slow..

Peace.

 

My bearings are new also in the rear on both sides. Let me know what you figure out. Thanks.

 

I have 2% vibration left.




Gee, go figure.

 

diff mount? thanks for posting pics.

 

Well there's your problem.

You can see what looks like copper never-seize dripping from the mounts when they break. That one's been busted for a while as clean as it is. I have a bad one right now.
