    Car shakes while accelerating

    This isn't my car it's my friends integra. While accelerating his car shakes but not while on the freeway and we can't figure out why,his car is completly stock, I've check all of his bushings and those are good,his rotors are good the only thing he has that is aftermarket are the motor mounts which I know can cause a car to shake at idle but I'm unsure about while accelerating.

    Check CV shafts, especially the inner and outer joints areas.

        Again, more than likely your CV shafts. It's a pretty common problem on these cars and I've fixed quite a few myself with the same symptoms......usually the passenger side shaft, but check both.

        Look for cracked and broken boots and a spray of grease all over the inside of your rims and the differential case.

          Tires

          You never mentioned tire balancing. This can cause vibrations during acceleration.

            My friend just had that done a few days ago and that didn't help, I checked his axles and there is no rips or tears in them and nothing is covered in grease.

              In that case, I would suppose something is loose.

                  its your axles when i brought my srt the last person that had it must have been racing it a great deal. When you accellerate its usually the axles or wheelbearings but more likely the axles.

                  And when you brake its the rotors. Well from my experience. After i changed the axles problem went away becasue they were worn.

                    I had a similar vibration in my car after I replaced the axle. I had it back to the mechanic on numerous occasions and I was told it was everything under the sun other than the axle, from the transmission to improperly balanced wheels, bent rims, etc...

                    I replaced the axle with a new one and the problem disappeared.
