Default GSR Shakes

my '95 GSR has some vibration issues. Something up front vibrates pretty hard at around 3000 to 4500 r.p.m. It does this is 2cnd -4th gears, but you feel it mostly in second. This is annoying the crap out of me!

I did replace the front left engine damper mount on the bottom. I looked at the one on the right front bottom and its cracked. I also replaced the half shafts with aftermarket pieces. Any ideas?

uhh replace the one that is cracked, check the rest of them especially the tranny mount/mounts (not sure) and go from there.

if that doesnt help see if your lug nuts are tightened enough.

I changed the lower right damper thingy and it still shakes but not as bad. I'll keep looking.

So I looked at the CV axle on the left side. It looks slighty loose where it connects to the intermediate shaft.I checked out a friends' 94 GSR and the cv joint is rigid where it hooks into the intermediate shaft.

Could I have installed this wrong on my car? I replaced the CV axles a while ago. Is there a trick to getting the axle to seat firmly into the I shaft?
