bad vibration!

[reutterj]

I was drivin to work today and it was fine then i went to change lanes to the right on the high way and i got a bad vibration, there is none goin to the left or straight. i pulled off the road to see if the lug nuts came lose but that wasnt it, and there is no clicking inthe CV joint either. Any and all help would be GREAT!!!

o by the way its a 97 GSX eclipse

Check your axles.

Also your tires may be unbalanced or a bad wheel bearing.

My GST vibrated quite a bit when my tires were starting to wear out and unbalanced. After I replaced them, my baby was cruising smoothly again.

its at all speeds, the slower i go the less vibration, and the faster the more vibration

well, the engine only has like 14k miles on it so could it still be crank walk

Did you check anything we said to yet?

 

[reutterj]

all the CV joints are good but there is no real way to check the wheal bearing unless i can take the CV joints correct?

Jack the front of the car up and take the wheel and try to move it up and down. It shouldn't move at all. If it does, your wheel bearing may be bad. Also, check your motor mounts to make sure all the bolts are tight.

Good thing you caught that. Torque that sucker down good (150 ft.lbs.) and get a new cotter pin. Check the other side too.
