xbandaide Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi ... can someone help me figure out why my car vibrates when I accelerate? The check engine light was on, had it looked at and they said I needed an oxygen sensor which I replaced but the car still vibrates when I drive. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckers Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 OK, there could be a couple of things to check. uni's,wheel bearings,wheel balance front & rear, drive shafts.tire rods drag links all this stuff can give you a vibration when you drive.

Thanks Trucker, little help here though .... disclaimer: I'm a woman ... what is a "uni"?? ETA: While driving, when I take my foot off the gas peddle, the vibrations stops.

fidgits Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Your best bet is to get your wheels balanced and your tracking checked then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
