Ok, well tonight on the way home from Columbus ohio (100 mile drive) something really weird happened..
The left front wheel hydroplaned and all the suden the car shook like crazy, after 20-30 seconds it stopped so I chalked it up to maybe something got in the rim throwing balance off, well each and every time the front wheel hydroplaned after that the EXACT same shaking and vibrating came back, and again disappeared after a minute or so.
When I push the clutch it stops, when I am accelerating it's horribly loud and violent shaking... then on the way home again I made a spirited left arrow turn through an intersection and it did it again..I checked the halfshaft mount and it's tight , the CV doesn't seem loose, and the closest thing ive found that it sounds like is the driveshaft vibration noise in Jafro's driveshaft 101 video.
this one is really driving me nuts, anyone had this happen before? last time I checked the U-joints were OK but I guess I'm going back up under there tomorrow to see what I can find, I just don't get why it comes and goes, especially when that front left wheel hydroplanes
any help would be great, this 1g awd car is starting to drive me nuts with all it's little noises and problems
