Thread: 02 GP Shakes upon accelerating

yeah the shaking will stop if i let off the gas. It'll mainly do it if i need to accelerate quickly or trying to accelerate on a incline. whats an axle job like, pricey?

well each axle is around 70 bucks. Then you need to rent a FWD axle puller and a slide hammer from autozone to pop the axles out of the transmission. You get all the money back when you take the tools back. The job is really not that hard.
*jack up the car, take the tire off.
*remove the 33mm (you need a deep well socket) hub nut that holds the axle in the hub.
*remove the two nuts at the bottom of the strut and slide the bolts out.
*then take the axle out of the hub and use the puller to pop out of the transmission.
*be careful when putting the new axle in to not damage the axle output seal.

When its all back together ensure that there are no transmission fluid leaks at the axle seals ( Start car and drive around the driveway or something).

This job will cost at least $300-450 if you take it somewhere or $150 DIY.
