Car Shakes....

[AdMan]

Hey all, just got my Ceffy back after a 5 month downtime (thanks regency) and im having this problem...

Im not sure why its doing it, it never did it before. What basically happens, is if I turn to fast around a corner, and accelerate on the way out, the whole car begins to shake as it comes on boost... It also sometimes does it, if the wheels are spinning and the back end wants to come around.

It feels like the back wheels are bouncing on the road, but im pretty sure something might be wrong with the engine? Just had new spark plugs put in...

Ill that I changed suspension wise, was the stock A31 fronts... and the rears from an R32. Is there something that the 32 springs dont like about the car? Is it more of a temporary thing or can they actually stay in there with no problems?

Got some 205/60/15 on the rears, and 195/60/15 on the front. Might that have anything to do with it? They came off a mate of mines R31 Coupe...

Tailshaft had to replaced, so got my hands on a 32 one... and mixed them together. Could that be whats causing it?

Im absolutely clueless... thanks for your time.

Adam.

was the tailshaft balanced?

'could' be axle tramp (ie get pineapples / alloy cradle bushes)

Also check if your tail shaft is up the right way, Sounds stupid i know unbolt it and rotate it 180 deg and see if that makes a difference. did with mine and a mates car when we didn't mark and put the tail shaft in the right way felt like you where on one of those massage beds on full noise.

Hmm.. might have to go down to the garage and see what they did...

My dad was behind me in his car today, and told me as I went around corners my rear wheels were coming about 100mm off the ground!

Probably your rear shocks then, did you say you are using R32 springs on your cefiro shocks, or R32 shocks/springs.

Either way what you have is not setup correctly.

r32 shocks and springs...

I borrowed them.. The standard cefiro ones I got from ebay, the shocks were stuffed. So it wouldnt of passed Regency. And I cant put my coilovers back in, because then I have to put the fronts back in, tokico and they are so extremely low. Need new front coilovers.
