Ok...So I am having some serious problems with my Evo.

It basically started with some decent vibrations when taking right hand turns from a stop.

It then went to when making right & left hand turns from a stop.

It is basically only in 1st gear when I am taking off from a stop and going around turns and I can feel it in the wheel and in the pedals, but once I shift to 2nd it's gone.

This has been going on for about 2 weeks now and I have had the car up in the air and it looks perfect. Axles are fine and so are the tires. I had the car aligned and I know the wheels are balanced so you can check those two items off the list.

This issue has basically made me hate my car and starting today when I am driving on the freeway I am now getting constant vibrations and it's just making the issue worse. I don't even want to drive the damn thing anymore.

If anyone has any input that would be great. I am thinking maybe my shocks blown due to the tein s-tech springs, and maybe my rotors are warped, but doubt the rotors would cause the slow speed vibrations.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Possibly Tranny...Could be I don't know??? (South Coast already replaced my transfer case and that didn't solve anything except a metal sound I was hearing, but now I am getting a rattle)

Lug Nuts: Torqued to spec!!!

 

Funny i came across this post...Yesterday I was at a stop light and then all of a sudden my car was vibrating..almost like a helicopter was above me (that was my first thought). But then light turned green, drove away. And it was gone. Im puzzled.

 

what mods have you done to the suspension?

 

wheel bearing?

 

this may sound stupid but how are you basing the axles are fine? is it just by appearance? try sliding the shaft side to side (trans to hub motion) see if one has more play than the other, it may seem fine but have play on the inner joints, Im puzzled as well... see also if its also only under load or acceleration in first gear, because if it doesnt happen with the foot of the gas could also help you diag what being loaded up at the moment it happens... sorry cant be much more help...

 

Wheel bearings and axles have all been inspected by a shop and are fine...

It is going back to the dealer tomorrow and I am basically going to tell them that I don't want the car back until it's fixed.

 

could it be motor mounts

 

It'd definitely something in the drive train and it's pissing me off...I hate this damn car now and am ready to get rid of it to tell you all the truth...

I am dropping it off at the dealer tomorrow morning and if it's not fixed by the end of the week I will be parting it out and selling it.

I used to be so in love with the car, but now it's on my last nerve...I think I'm getting to that point some people get to when they are just over cars for the meantime

 

thats what i say too... if you say the axles are good... 99% its the motor mounts... do you have upgraded or really worn ones???

 

Motor mounts are stock and only have 50k miles on the car...if I am buying upgraded mounts which ones would you guys suggest?

 

dont get solid polyurithane. i had those in my rsx and it sounded like i had an exhaust, but with more vibration. its worse too
