Shake drastically

[JGTC]

When i'm first i accelerate normally, nothing happens, after i shift to second the car shakes, but third and up I accelerate and it shakes, it's like if you were inside a dual shock PlayStation controller going crazy, but I let go and stops shaking, it's only on acceleration and second gear and up.........Any ideas?

I had a recent problem that one of the struts of crossmember was loose completely if that info helps

You just hit VTAK!



No seriously, it is probably a bad CV joint.

I'd also check motor/tranny mounts, and check your other suspension parts.

i have this same problem, my axles are "new" not even a year old, or i should say not even 400 driven miles on them since i dont drive the car often. one of them (d/s) is all ready clicking and thats when im going straight and turning. autozone axles can lick my nuts.

im doing the axle replacement and get my new tires that were balance rebalanced, and also making sure all my susp components i just replaced (outer tie rods, lbj, and uca's) are tight. i am hoping this gets rid of my shaking, i would really like to start driving my accord from now on.

That could really be a number of things. Assuming your tires are good and balanced its either a bad cv axle as already stated or something in your suspension. If i could drive it i'd be able to tell you more but since i can't i recommend you take it somewhere that doesnt charge an arm and a leg to look at it. Then go from there.

not much help but i tried.

If it helps i know it's on the right hand side in the front

It does help. Now you know where to look. Start checking nuts and bolts, look for things that could be missing or bent or broken.

I dont know the OP's circumstances, mine are new axles, new tires/balance, new susp components ie: outer tie rods, lbj's, and uca's. my axle is clicking on the d/s, and i believe the shaking is initially on the p/s but its hard to tell cuz the whole steering wheel shakes. i know my motor mounts are good, they were inspected/looked at before install.

tis true, at least you know where to start, and know where its coming from. good luck to you, i need it also lol.

Start easy, check if all your lug nuts are tightened, then check wheel balance. Then go to CV joint, axle and/or bearing. Then, go for motor mounts or trans if none of them produce results.

I don't know if you have one near you but there was a place called Gipson's when I lived in Alabama and they would look at everything from allignment and so on for free before they would do any work at all. You might want to yellowbook.com that name and see if they are near you. If not then do what has already been said. Take off both the front tires and compare both sides.
