Hi guys hope you can give me some pointers. My geo just started this funky vibration when I am driving up hill with the engine under load. The front of the car shakes. But when I coast down the hill there is not vib. and in both instances the wheel stays straight is does not pull to left or right, stays straight. I replaced the axles, engine mounts, clutch, struts with delco premiums. manuel rack and pinon is tight... the tires are due for a balance which is wednesday.. I am hoping its just the tires. but wouldnt it do the vibs all the time? Any ideas are greatly needed? I had all 4 tires balance and rotated no change. hub ass are tight. and cv are tight too... Its definitly vibrating when you accelerate and new engine mounts OEM Dealer but as soon as I let off the gas no shakeing. I am going to tune up the engine, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor.. but the engine idles good. it doesnt shake when idling doesnt lope..maybe a faulty wire.... Jim

Check your compression while the plugs are out. |
