Right side wobble/shake
#26
I changed the wheels around again today and went for a drive.. same thing once going over about 50-60mph its bad can barely feel when I throw into neutral above that 60mph but is still there.
dad thinks maybe a tranny problem but doesnt have any idea. nearest dealer is over 100mi away and doubt theyll tell me anything i dont already know.
I would say yes to the tierods and LCAB but I cant believe that would give the symptoms I am getting why would it be bad when load is on the wheels and then be near fine when not. that why I havent jumped into buying anything yet.
So stumped since it was not the axle...

My guess is those outer ties rods or the inner boomerang shape ball joint.

I am getting ready to replace a ton of parts that hopefully will add up to the fix of this but I want to know if there is anypossibility that it could be the transmission or the clutch before i buy a ton of bushings and stuff.
again when i am in a higher gear going slower and give it a lot of throttle it shakes a lot no matter what speed and when going over 50mph it starts to shake and gets worse when going faster.

I will include the driveshafts (CV joints) being suspect without more competent diagnosis as possible cause in your situation.

Ok maybe I’ll try replacing the left cv axle as well I already replaced the right. And I might throw it back together and take it to a shop see what they think. Only problem with that is with the shape of some of the rubber components they might just assume that it’s the rubber parts then I replace it all and then nothing.
The car didn’t seem to drive any different and from bad clutch symptoms I have seen not having the same deal.
I dont want to put a ton more money into it I am thinking just try to fix it use it for a year then get a r53 that’s got around 50k miles from the south with the tailights not rusting out
