Weird Vibration..

[Earley]

Ok..When im in 5th gear, (or it seems any gear, but mostly noticeable in 5th) and around 70-80 MPH and right around 3500 RPM, I get a weird "thumping" virbation, almost comparable to the sound a bee's wings. I need a CV joint, and my front struts are bad, but suspension wise, that is all. As far as mods, Only free mods, and a 7cm housing. The car is a 92 Eagle Talon TSI FWD 5-spd.

Thank You.

Where does the sound come from? ie; motor, tranny, suspension, rear-end???

Motor..I think It might be my a/c belt flapping.

The a/c pulley can rub your timing belt cover, they are notorius for that. Make sure that all your bolts are in your timing belt cover, or it will flex under the heat everytime, and hits stuff. There are a like 15 or so of those little bolts.

Sounds like either an axle or your transmission. Check the crank pulley to be sure it is in one piece as well.
