So I installed tein flex coilovers on my car and I'm pretty low.
Went for a drive after and I start gettin hard vibration when accelerating hard over 30mph.

Did some research and I need to get axle spacers or swap the inner cv joints. There is no permanent fix to the problem and it happens to many s2000s I guess.

Anybody willing to help my out and install the spacers or swap the inner joints for some money?

Let me know thanks guys.

I've been having vibrations at acceleration in mine too
((((( My car is not lowered, it's still pretty much stock)))))


Spoke to a few members that had similar problems. Crawled under the car to see if I could find anything loose, broken, leaking, etc. I did find this:










I'll probably replace these diff. mounts too.

Had a technician take it for a drive; he told me it feels like rear axles:

Some of these refer to axle nuts, or cv joint "cups"

Any input?

And Mike, I guess the diff mounts are oil/liquid filled just like the engine mounts, looks like yours are showing some signs of leakage, which means they are probably accentuating your axle wear/vibration. I'd probably replace the mounts ...and swap your cups wile your at it since it’s free, unless you are paying someone to do the work for you.

Can't you swap mounts without dropping the pumpkin? I think I remember bolting all the mounts up after I had it set in there.

So can somebody help me out??

Mike:

those dif mounts are most likely not liquid filled. ive never seen a diff mount of this style being liquid filled. they also look fine. no visual tears or rips.

that just looks like water/dirty water that was on the mount from driving a car on a normal road not oil. there'd be much more dirt caked on if it were oil that had leaked. or some sort of dampening liquid from a fluid filled mount.

the CV joint "cups" are the recipient of the "3-sided" cv joint and are what allow the joint to flex/change orientation while spinning. its the axle's version of a U-joint (really primitive description but for mental picture it works). google an exploded view of a cv joint and it will make a lot more sense as to what im talking about.

axle nuts were known to be the wrong tq or in need of re-tq-ing wich can cause a clunking noise.

if you are having vibrations you have a few choices which junky recently posted. the most common/least expensive is to swap the cups from side to side. basically you take apart your axles and only half of each axle switches sides of the car. it requires you re-booting the axle and re-greasing. the other option is to buy a new set of axles and install them.

your choice. btw, this assumes its your axle cups.

what year/mileage is your car?

just read all of junky's post. in direct contradiction...oops...well 50/50 on the liquid mounts.
