Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: NWINNIE34 on September 23, 2009, 12:30:03 PM not sure what blown motor mounts would feel like
but if i accelerate semi-hard i feel a shudder at low rpms too..... feels like the engine is moving around or working really hard in my I4 might be solved by new motor mounts (which may be coming up on a group buy soon for you V6 guys, possibly us I4 guys too) or install a stiffy kit to keep the engie from moving around.... i know this doesnt answer yur question but if it makes you feel any better i feel the same thing too Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: Milan on September 23, 2009, 04:31:33 PM Check your sway bar end links. Even if they are a little loose, they will make lots of noise going over any rough pavement.

I don't like how it feels, either, lol.but if i accelerate semi-hard i feel a shudder at low rpms too..... feels like the engine is moving around or working really hard in my I4 might be solved by new motor mounts (which may be coming up on a group buy soon for you V6 guys, possibly us I4 guys too) or install a stiffy kit to keep the engie from moving around.... i know this doesnt answer yur question but if it makes you feel any better i feel the same thing too Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: NVA-AV6 on September 23, 2009, 09:59:46 PM Get your tires re-balanced first, next time you are in my area, let me know when you can stop by and I'll take a look at your mounts.
Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: jobata23 on September 24, 2009, 07:27:44 PM im getting the same thing, it only happens when i pull off from a dead stop or sometimes when i turn, but not as pronounce compare to starting off line. i check everything and it looks like everything is tight except my front left camber kit is loose but tightly its bolted on the knuckle. i think is toasted due to cali roads when i drove back from oregon. anyways i decided to buy the oem balljoints again to replace my front camber kit and will be here next week. Hopefully this solves the problem.
Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: CYANiDE on September 24, 2009, 07:31:41 PM I feel it sometimes but on rough roads. I think the tires might be catching some of the bad road and making the car lean in different directions, but IDK.
Jobata - what kit is that on your car? Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: InFuMoUs on October 12, 2009, 06:31:59 PM If your mounts were bad, I dont think they would make any noise when the car is in motion. You'll probably feel it in the steering. You'll can also know if they were bad just by looking at the engine and seeing alot of vibration than the norm, but like Milan suggested check ya sway links and maybe also check ya bushions in ya lower control arms.

Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: Asim on November 14, 2009, 11:43:18 PM if its a click noise that engages and disengages when you accelerate and sometimes when you break, its actually some plastic body panel underneath the car causing it
i noticed i had it, and found a tsb about it. I didn't bother fixing it since its just an annoyance not a problem Title: Re: 2 SUSPENSION PROBLEMS Post by: jobata23 on November 15, 2009, 02:37:22 PM ^^ but the noise is metal to metal sound
