Car Vibration/shuddering

[Dc5Dub07]

Just looking for some opinions on this...

Symptoms are that under acceleration in corners there is a vibration/shudder/wobble in the car, noticeable when cornering(left or right) when the accelerator is down. Also noticeable under acceleration in a straight line, esp.when coming up and around the 60mph mark.

Now i know a lot of people will say "oh its the balancing/tracking, worn tyres, brake discs etc" but its only under acceleration not braking and its happening in corners also. The vibration is not only felt in the steering wheel but right through the car. Tyres are only about 6 months old with no track days done.

I've just had the wishbone bushings done, which helped but didnt fix the problem. I also have an ETD, but thats there ages.
A mate says it feels like "Scuttle shake" that you get in a convertible..

So what i think it could be is:
1. Worn engine mount(s)
2. Drive Shaft
3. OEM suspension Top mount is not slotted in fully at the correct angle..

:-k :-k :-k :-k :-k

i take it you've asked Andy already?
Personally (i could be wrong) but i doubt its the engine mounts.

Going back down to TF as we thought it was the wishbone bushings.. Could be track-rod ends.. we'll see..

I have had this problem before! replacing the driveshaft solved the problem.
You can get second hand parts from integrastella or TGM for a good price :wink:
