OkDriving along all seems great, say I am doing over 3500 revs in whatever gear, when I floor it I feel a slight vibration through the front end but then it stops after the initial power burst, more noticable in the higher rev range. Any ideas?, wasnt sure where to post this as I havent a clue but my guess it is suspension but was hoping for a more accurate diagnosis from one of the experts. ________________________________________ Nile Blue |

i get the exact same thing, does your gearstick vibrate at the same time?mine has only done it since i lowered it though, so i'm thinking the cv's are worn especially now as they are constantly running at an angle |

Driveshaft, either one could be doing this. Mine was doing it on the passenger side but when the drivers side was being checked it fell apart!! |

Yes, a drive shaft is the most likely cause or the intermediate bearing on the o/s shaft.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

The consequences of not doing them right now if they are the issue will simply be the issue gets worse. Very unlikely to fail completely IMO, however, the vibration will get that severe and annoying you WILL be replacing them before they fail completely as it will drive you nuts. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
