    Hello to all;

    I have 2000 GTP, slightly modified, throttle body spacer, cold air intake, 3 inch down pipe no cat, with single O2 sensor, after market mufflers, ECU and a smaller pulley. The problem I am having is that I get a horrible vibration throughout the whole car only on acceleration. If I'm on the highway at 70 mph and I let up off the gas, its smooth riding. As soon as I give it just a little bit of gas to maintain that 70 mph, the vibration is back. The vibration is not in the steering wheel, just throughout the whole car. I checked and the wheel bearings are good, and there are new tires on the rear, all balanced. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Frustrated,
    AK GTP

    Mine was doing that really bad, I went through an axle. My passenger side axle was in pieces. So you may want to check into that.
    Life goes by so fast, so why drive slow.

    yes, pop off the lower ball joint and then pull the axle out. youll still have to pop it out though, you wont be able to just pull it out.

    Remember you MUST rotate tires by the manual or you can create this problem
