Vibration, shaking, click click sound
Hello,
So I own a 01 s2000 and about 2000 miles ago I start noticing that when turning it makes a cluck cluck sound or a knocking sound. And when accelerate it vibrates.
So I did my research and came across many different threads. Some say get axles spacer and some say it'd just be a waste of money. (billman concept was really reasonable) so I went ahead and got two new axles. I had it swap a few days ago. And still got the knocking while turning and vibration while gasing.....
any suggestion on what to do next?
Thanks in advance!

Rear wheel bearings are the first thing that comes to mind. If you have not retorqued them yet do that first. Billman has a nice thread on that topic as well. I think its called Axle Nut re-torque.
Other then that maybe some part of the diff is going out. I dont know enough about torsen type diffs to say for sure though.

I pretty much did the re-torque when replacing the axles. Maybe it could be the bearings.....
is there any way to check if your diff. is broken?

Possibilities ..............
- something going on with the ring and pinion in the diff
- the LSD is going. Have you been using the wrong fluid in there? Have you not been changing it when you should?
- propshaft bolts loose or broken
This is not the usual wheel bearing symptoms. Bad wheel bearings will get very hot after a highway drive and they hum or whine.

If you have a clunk-clunk-clunk that is consistent when coasting in a tight circle, your LSD is sticking. Not to worry, just deal with it or get another dif.
The vibration on accelration is pitted buckets on stock axles, or aftermarket axles even if they are NEW. IF you get auto parts axles, you are guaranteed to make it even worse. I have proven this on the s2k multiple times as well as my 1997 Accord (I didnt put these axles in, I wouldn't...the customer came in with them)
Get your OEM axles back and do the bucket swap...NEVER give up your stock axles.
