#4777, "RE: Vibration under acceleration- differential bearings going bad?" In response to In response to 1

Hmmm...well I replaced the driver side axle today with a new one, and the vibration is better, but it is still there. The play i'm talking about is side/side/up/down, not in and out. I checked the axles on my eclipse, and there is no play what so ever on those..so i dont know at this point. I still have my retrofit LSD diff laying around, and there are 2 roller bearings on each end of the diff where the axles go into the diff's spider gears. I'm going to assume the diff just sets on each case side in these bearings? Would these bearings being worn cause this slight amounts of play? What else could cause a shaking under acceleration? The front hubs seem tight with no play in them, so i'm at a loss here. It rides great otherwise, nice and smooth. Now there is that one bolt missing from the crossmember, the second one to the back, that goes into the subframe behind the trans..could this cause the issue as well? Thanks for any info!
