Hello,
I just bought a nice 2000 GT as a dd two weeks ago. It's alot of car for the money, I must admit. 138k, no rust from Virginia, a long two days to get it and bring it back!
So far, I installed two new yokohama AVID S tires on the front, forged solid front swaybar, new starter, halo projector headlights with HID xenons, bought an extra remote and chipkey all off fleabay and so far, aside from some LED problems on the headlight casings, everything went in good. Mostly this was maintenance work that the car needed.
The biggest problem, of which I think is one of the half shafts.... Is that I am getting a vibration only going up hills and under slight acceleration on level surfaces, at between 45 and 75 mph. Under hard acceleration, it's gone. The vibration gets more intense when I go over a bump and the suspension compresses. The vibration was there before the new tires and after, so it's not the tires.
I get no clicking with the old "hard slow turn in the parking lot test", so at first, I thought it wasn't a half shaft at all.
How can I test more thoroughly, which, if any half shaft to see is going bad?
