shake thoughout car on acceleration

[dylz]

Hey,

My car(vti-r teg) shakes on acceleration it's not that bad a low speeds but at over 100 is shakes on acceleration. But if i just cruise at 100 it's not really noticeable just when i put my foot down it starts shaking?

Any ideas
Engine mounts or?

sounds like engine mounts .. if u can just give them a quick check over ..

do you feel any of the shaking through your steering wheel? ie steering wheel shakes on accelleration?

At 100km/h if you are not on the throttle at all do you still have the shake?

yes the steering wheel shakes a little on acceleration

yes if i give it no throttle at 100 the shake stops

most common causes of shaking/shudder at high speeds:

- imbalanced/bent wheels
- uneven tyre wear
- torn front bushings
- other suspension damage

perhaps go to a shop to get a wheel balance and get an alignment whilst you're at it.

could also be the tyres if it has worn unevenly. you can try swapping the front and rear wheels and see if that helps.

If you experience shaking with any acceleration past 80kms with your foot down its a text book example of unbalanced wheels.

Note:
if your car shakes - needs balance.
if your car pulls to the left or right - needs alignment.


if the above doesnt help you may need to change your rotor and pads.
the link below is a lil premature.... but if you monitor this and you should get your answer.

unbalanced wheels will cause shaking/shuddering not only on acceleration, but all the time

rotors and pads are only when you are braking

OP is having the issue when accelerating... im not sure what your problem is mate, but it MAY be engine mounts or other bushings?

check to see all ur wheel weights are still on the wheels

if any of the above still hasn't sorted you out then check your drive shafts. old/worn cv's may cause some vibration.

thanks for all the replys

My plan of attack is get a wheel balance and an alignment. And replace the engine mounts as a mechanic suspects upper engine mount.

And if that don't work ima slap the shit out of the car

ohhh right... thanks for clearing that up for me
