Ok I am lowered on Espelirs, have been for about 1.5 months, last week I put on new rims and tires, the problem is the back left tire, IT IS NOT RUBBING on the fender, however upon acceleration the back left wheel is Vibrating badly

If I am at a steady mph it is fine, the second I give it some gas to accelerate it vibrates badly.

I have yet to get an alignment, I dunno if that is the problem. the first day I noticed it, it was a small vibration, I thought it was my tire rubbing when I went WOT and the back end squatted down, but this is not the case

Do you think they botched up the balancing and this is what could be causing it?

I am going to go to the place that put my tires on and ask them in the morning but I want to see if anyone knows what it could be?


Dammit after doing some research seems it is my Inner CV-Joint or something?

Anyone know how much this will cost me

Jeff and or Billman either of you guys available anytime soon to do this for me? PM a price and if you know what the problem is

Also if I dont accell hard, can I drive on it, or is my wheel going to fall off?

sounds like a CV joint. Swap your inner CV joint buckets. That will help. It usually happens when you drop the car.

thanks, I am going to have to have Billman or Jeff do it, I dont have the proper tools

I swear to God its always something , 91,000miles though so I guess its expected

Also if I dont accelerate hard can I drive my car, its all waxed and shiney and I going to LBI for the weekend, is this a bad idea?

yup pitted axle buckets

I dont understand the need for a Balljoint separator, how do I use it what does it do?

to pop the axles out of the diff, you need to lower the control arm to give yourself enough room. Go rent one from autozone for 15 and then return it. I bought one and have swapped out my buckets in about 1:30 taking my time.

easier to take the upper control arm off.
2 17's no special tool needed.
Easily enough room to take the axles out!

hey I have everything disconnected but I cant pull the buckets off the DIFF housing, it seems like its stuck/connected to something, what do I have to do smach it with a hammer?

They should pop right out. Here is a good thread with a pics and a write up.

You're not trying to pop the flanges out of the diff correct? Pull the 6 bolts on each side. I have never seen one stuck.
