I just installed my Sprint springs and had Car-x do a 4 wheel alignment. They replaced my driver side end tie rod and he said my car wobbles when driving it so i took it out and the damn thing vibrates a bunch ONLY under acceleration. As soon as i get up to speed its fine. He said something about the cv boot?? I was also thinking maybe a loose motor mount. I did just buy the solid front motor mount on here from the guy whos making them. Please any input, i'm desperate! THanks in advance though guys

Well I just had another guy take a look at it today and he said something like my driveshaft was rubbing on the frame of hte car??? I didnt get to talk to him long enough about it because of time, but this really doenst make any sense to me. So he said that I should get a new shorter driveshaft. This also doesnt make sense because how would a shorter one stop it from hitting the frame. So how confident are you guys that it is the axle that I should replace?

unless you look at the ds and see signs of that for yourself I would just chalk up what that guy said as BS.

So what do you think I should do or replace? I still have to take it to a local performance shop and see what they think. But I dont really even understand where the ds would be hitting the frame or how that would even occur. He said something about getting a shorter ds and that would fix the problem. I really really need this fixed bad because I dont even want to drive my car cuz it just feels like shit. Also, my a arm is fucking knocking on part of the wheel well plastic and the chassis? What the hell am I suppose to do about that. Will new kyb gr-2 struts take car of that problem? I'm really getting frustrated so if anyone could contribute anything to my problems it would be great. you've all been a lot of help already. Thanks again! -Cory

Shops like to blame everything on your car being lowered, it's bs. If you think your mounts are good, I would replace your passenger side axle.

Sounds good thanks, for all the input. Where can I get just a passenger side axel??

I recommend the places to buy axles from in this order:

O'Reilleys, Advance Auto, Napa, AutoZone

For the lifetime warranty at Napa to work, you MUST keep the receipt.

shaun> i'm sayin', bro!

Well I dont think its getting worse over time because I just came back home over the weekend without driving my car and I just thought maybe carx fucked up and didnt put my lugs on back the right way so I loosened and retightened them the correct way and it actually helped the shaking a little bit. I mean it still shakes but def not as bad. So tomorrow I'm going to be going to a local performace shop and seeing what they think my problem is. From what you guys have read about this topic on here, what questions should I ask them? Thanks!

Good luck, no one I've talked to was able to tell me it was my axle with perfect boots that was causing all hell, except a fellow 2gnt'er (sorry I forgot who it was, it was a very long time ago).

like I said above to me it sounds like a bad inner CV joint. just replace the whole axle, if they are still origional then def replace both
