Default Vibration under ANY Acceleration now......

Well looks like the 83k mileage and Boston pot holes and constant BANG is catching up to the S2k. Was on the way to work and hit in in 4th and that thing started vibrating and feel all jittery. I loved how smooth it used to be.

Will try to do wheel balance if that doesn't help I am guessing CV or Axle issue.

Balance wheels and get an alignment. Could also be the age/wear on your tires.

Nah seems fine free revving. Slow speeds smooth as well. its when in VTEC things get a bit rough and jittery. I feel like jittery explains it the best. It feels almost a bit unstable. Tires seem okay, could be better but shouldn't be it because in AZ I wore tires out till the metal and it didn't vibrate. Just rear would get happy during shifts.

It's getting worse !! I did the search and thanks for the link just was hoping my issue wasn't that.

Now it's doing it under any acceleration. The rear end feels squiggly? lol


awwwww Deff seems like axle.

Shake on acceleration, goes away immediately when you release the throttle=pitted inner CV drive bucekts. Guaranteed.

Do the swap, no parts to buy.

Thank you Billman

Did the test in 4th gear on the way to work, rev to 6.5k and release....Vibration stops. Step on the gas and bring it up to red line... whole time it shakes. Then throw it in to neutral... and smoooth

I will keep you posted, hopefully the swap can be done this week or weekend.
