Turning right under power
Lately my car has developed an odd problem. When I am turning right in 2nd or 3rd gear at lower (less than maybe 2500 I say) RPM and get more than 20% on the throttle, the car shudders/vibrates and makes a vibration/rubbing noise. This never happens when turning left, and when I am off the throttle and turning right, nothing happens. Also, if I am at high RPM in 1st or 2nd and on the throttle, it happens only very, very slightly, almost unnoticeable. Any idea on what could cause this?

Check your passenger side axle. Check for torn boot visually. Hear any clicking sounds when turning?

Re: Turning right under power
Until this point I too was thinking CV joint or wheel bearing/hub. It's still possible (more torque applied to CV joint at high RPM 1st/2nd than other gears) but I wonder if it's a broken motor mount.94Corolla5Speed wrote:Also, if I am at high RPM in 1st or 2nd and on the throttle, it happens only very, very slightly, almost unnoticeable.

Re: Turning right under power
True, I have overlooked that part. It's weird that it does that during the turn though. I can see how the motor could be shifting just right during the right turn to cause vibration while on the throttle, but this makes me think that if the mount was that bad, it would cause vibes during straight accel in those gears as well.
Regardless, I'd check them as well.

Re: Turning right under power
The front motor mount is definitely shot I'm talking giant POS. I had an inkling it was that, but I'll check the CV joints/axles when I get a chance.

Just fix it by welding a coule of chain links to the mount. Done.

Re: Turning right under power
I was thinking of just JBwelding the shit out of the rubber part of the mount. Good idea or bad idea?

That's almost as awesome as the oil leak tampon.

Re: Turning right under power
I did a few hours ago after I goog'd JBweld. I think I'm gonna window weld it sometime this summer when I get a chance. Seems like it should help from what I've read.watkins wrote:Window weld.
