Shakes while Accelerates
Hi guys, I'm new here, so thankyou for letting me join.
I wonder if anyone can help, perhaps someone has had the same issues? I've got a jeep wrangler '98. And the darn thing vibrates under accelration starting at around 85 ks upwards. when i back off it slowly backs off too. I went to a tire place today and the bloke there said, he had a Honda accord come in once and it did the same thing. He said it would have nothing to do with drive shafts, tires, or balancing. *SiGh*
Does anyone agree or have any other suggestions?
Thanks for hearing me out.

Re: Shakes while Accelerates
First up, what modifications have you made to your Jeep?
Suspension height?
Tyre size?
SYE?

So its a vibration more than a steering shake? and its constant? any noise?
Dont know what the tyre guy is talking about, sounds like a balance issue to me.
I'd suggest a wheel balance and alignment first.
If its not that I'm guessing an out of balance driveshaft, stuffed uni joint or bent axle.

Re: Shakes while Accelerates
it vibrates only during acceleration , no noise and it feels like the whole car vibrating. its a constant vibration that gets worse the faster i go. As i back off the gas it resides, even if the speed is over 85 kms. I kinda was thinking drive shaft but wouldnt it still do it while off the gas? and it doesnt.
Wouldnt out of balance tires/driveshaft/axle have the same affect while accelerated or not?
Thanks again for taking the time to reply antz.

Re: Shakes while Accelerates
Just to be clear on the vib - you feel it up through your bum, not through the steering wheel right?
Tyres - Could be wheel out of balance (even a nice little chunk of mud can do that).
Prop shaft - Do a quick check on the driveshaft that it hasn't taken a hit or flicked a weight.
Arm bushes - Flogged bushes can cause vibs - but will normally occur at low speed too.
Personally I;d try rotating all your tyres and see if that makes ANY difference....and obviously this is the cheapest thing to test
