^^^ Any way I can check that? Because i'm starting to believe that it is a speed-induced thing, all happens at 55km/h-65km/h on heavy throttle. Everywhere else, it's as smooth as a goose.

If an engine mount is gone, is there any way you can tell that it's gone whilst driving?

onions2k I have the same problem. Both CV axles replaced(BRAND NEW) & I even installed spacers. All tires re-balanced & alignment done. STILL it vibrates just not as much as before. I can feel the rear shaking a bit while @ high speeds & sometimes under acceleration the rear left still vibrates. This has been annoying me to the point where I'm thinking about selling the S & just buying a car without so much problems. The S has been the most headache I've had.

mounts or wheel bearings?

Yeah... Before I lowered it, I installed spacers.. and it was so dreamy... what I expected... but after I got my coilovers in, it was round 2 of this thumpage.. I'm starting to think it's my mounts... Because shifting is becoming harder and harder for me...

Gotta have a major overhaul over the weekend I guess, will keep everyone updated.. Also have engine-damper on its way, so see if that helps..

Won't be the wheel bearings for me, as mine is really only apparent at 55km/h-69km/h roughly, in any gear besides 1/2 - and atleast 70% load.. If I baby it (45% feathering load), it's okay..... but S2Slow..

Peace.

My bearings are new also in the rear on both sides. Let me know what you figure out. Thanks.

Gee, go figure.

Well there's your problem.

You can see what looks like copper never-seize dripping from the mounts when they break. That one's been busted for a while as clean as it is. I have a bad one right now.
