    I'm hoping someone can help me. My 2000 Grand Prix vibrates when I accelerate, any advice?

    Is it lowered at all? Mine has a vibration after I lowered it.

    CV shaft or wheel balance.

    CV shafts, maybe bad lower motor mounts, wheel balance.

    It isn't lowered at all. I read some other feeds on the net and paid a bit more attention. When I turn to the right it makes a sort of "banging" noise. Does this mean it's the CV joint? How can I check it to see if it's shot?

    I'm also fairly sure it's not the wheel balance. I had my tires rotated not too long ago. They checked the wheel bearings and also re-aligned it. Thanks for the help fellas.

    CV shaft clicks when it is bad. Although it is possible its not that bad yet, just bad enough to cause a shake.

    Do you know a way I can check it, even if it's just visually, to see if it's actually the CV shaft or if it's another issue? I don't want to change out the shaft and joint only to find it was something else. Thanks!
