    hi, i've got a 1990 GP 3.1 non-turbo auto (4speed). put new rack&pinion in 8 months ago, new ball joints and new tire (Rt. front). had 4-wheel align 8 months ago. For last 2 months been experiencing most troubling shudder/whobble from the right front side of car most noticeable under acceleration and corners. Have mechanics look and look. bought new front strut mounts. Still "driving me crazy". Please help

    Sounds like a bad cv axle.

    About a week back a member found two broken studs on one wheel. Please check the studs and look over the suspension etc before you drive it.

    thank u much for your speedy reply and help. checked the studs-they're all there. Is the cv axle the same as a "half-axle" and can u tell by looking if the cv axle is bad?

    Grab it in the center and see if it has any play up and down side to side.
