I don't know if this thread belongs in this forum, but I will ask anyway...
I have this shaking issue that I can't seem to troubleshoot and eliminate, so I will see if you have any suggestions: While going about 40mph to 75mph, anytime I accelerate, the whole car shakes. It only happens when accelerating though, so I am thinking it may be an axle. I changed my drivers side about 6 months ago and recently changed my passenger side and the problem persisted. Tires are balanced and alignment is correct. Brake rotors are brand new as well. I discovered two broken motor mounts that I replaced and the problem was still the same. So I am thinking that the drivers side axle that I installed has a blown inboard CV joint, so I ordered a brand new axle to see if that fixes it. I am totally out of ideas and if that doesn't fix it, I will be forced to take it to a mechanic. I have tried every suggestion that people have given me but nothing helps. Maybe you have some fresh ideas that I can try before I take it in. Problem is, my previous mechanic won't work on my car at all now since I installed the turbo, so I am forced to take it to a high performance shop that totally gouges on the prices. Any help is greatly appreciated.
