Shaking Civic

[ejc_installations]

Hey Guys,

Got another problem with my ride....

Gave the car a boot the other day and for some reason now when i accelerate i get a shake coming from either the front right wheel area or the motor. I can feel it in the steering wheel. But its only when i accelerate. It's not so bad on 1st - 3rd gear but in 5th it shakes like a bastard.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

check your wheel nuts are TIGHT....Also check hub nut too (32mm) is tight.

Otherwise , you may of ripped a torque mount when you "gave it a boot".

as above post. check wheel nuts first

[vinnY]

wheel weights still there?

otherwise i'll take a punt that it's one of your inboard joints on your drive shafts

yeah have to say make sure that the nuts are tightened speaking from someone that has had all 3 out of 4 studs snap of while driving....

Try getting the wheel balanced too

better off checking all of the suggestions in the above posts before going to a tyre/suspension shop

9/10 in the past, they have never checked anything and basically put more weights on, lol

I'd think it's probably more likely CV joints than anything else, if it only happens under acceleration. Have you tried going round tight corners, and accelerating - if the CV joints are worn you'll hear a rattling or knocking. Large open areas where you can travel on full lock, like empty car parks, are useful for testing them if you can find areas like that - make sure you do it on both left and right hand turns, too.
