    Car has about 122k miles, and notice a very low frequency vibration that comes and goes when LIGHT on the throttle, if the vibration is happening, and give about half throttle for the car to downshift, it goes away, also if just let off the gas and coast, the vibration goes away. The wheel bearings and tie rods are fairly new, tranny has clean red fluid...only thing I can think of is the half shaft? as the vibration occurs in every gear. most noticable at about 40mph+ I think its my halfshaft passenger side goin bad.
    I think I saw these at ZZP for like 150$ If i remember, but are these something I can just pick up from a scrap yard? also, Should I get Halfshafts from a gtp? or would it make no difference?

    Its possible its your axles.

    I buy napa brand axles with warrantys for under 100 each and they work perfect for me.

    The axles are all the same from GT to GTP, its just on the GTP trans the passenger side is longer because the diff is different.

    So just tell them what car you drive and buy the ones they have listed for it.

    Also, judging from their search results, you said the passenger side is different for gt/gtp? on Napa's site, there are two choices for the right front and only one for the left? wouldn't it be opposite? although, I am enlightened to see its a relatively cheaper fix.

    Mine just went out but i new it was going i was tossing grease off both sides of my GTP. I went through morad and got oems. From the research i did they are way better than most aftermarket ones. Also your symptoms are the same i was having. Are you throwing grease id crawl down there and feel around. Also while your under there get new mounts that also helped my front end problem big time 122k probably original everything? Im at 134k and it was time for repairs up front.
