Ive had my swap done for a couple of months now(3rd gen 3sgte with 5sfe tranny) and i noticed that the car shimmys real bad when i drive..I figured it was just a alignment problem but when i took it in to get aligned, the guy said thats not the problem. He said the problem is the half shafts. My car is lowered approx. 1.5 inches and i guess that half shalfs are too long or something so he said i need to find some sort of different half shafts...does anyone know what im talkin about or what he is talking about. I would most certainly appreciate it. thanks guys

since it is not speed dependent (meaning when you go 10mph it will shake just as bad as when your going 500 miles an hour), i will have to say its not axel/half shaft/or wheel related.
Its most likely your motor mounts because it only shakes when your accelerating. Probably the rear motor mount when bad. |
