It was the bad right front axle. They replaced it and rebalanced the tires. No Charge! I just drove it back to work and it was smooth as silk. Had it up to 90mph just to test it out and no vibration. I like my Celica again!

Mechanic called and said they put the car on the rack and see some wobble in the front right axle (that was replaced last year). They are going to replace it "under warranty". They should have it fixed this afternoon. Hopefully this fixes the problem! He did check the bearings and said they were fine.

The car is in the shop today. I've talked to quite a few people about the problem. A couple people are suggesting that is the flywheel. They say it could be a cracked flywheel, broken bolt, or loose bolts where it bolts to the torque converter. Based upon the symptoms, that seems like a possiblity!

I'm having the same problem. Vibration under load. If going over 50mph, giving throtle I get a bad vibration in the front end. I had both front axle assembles replace due to bad CV joints a year ago. Had the tires balanced two weeks ago. Had the "cracked" rear motor mount replaced last week and it is still doing it. It happens on the expressway going up hill. It is a 94 Celica GT, automatic. I shifted into nuetral the other day while it was vibrating at 65mph and it immediatly went away. Put it back in Drive, give it gas and it starts vibrating again. This car used to run as smooth as silk and still does in neutral! I'm starting to think it is front wheel bearings? If my mechanic gets it fixed I'll let you know what the problem was.

Mike
