OK i have the problem with my rear. when the car hits 20 mph the right wheel start hopping https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png . so i think its was the bushing so i just finished changing them and its still doing it. i then thought it could be the strut so i jacked the rear up and tried it again 25 mph it starts to shake again. wheel bearings and new tires.....still doing it. i even put another rim on there thinking maybe just maybe rims might be bent but again its still shaking.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png so i get under and pulled on the axles and theres slite play on the right sidewhere its bolted to the diff could this be the problem? Then out no where while im just letting the car idle she shuts off. i look at the main fuses under the hood and the 30A RETRACTOR fuse blew put in another and it blew out again.. why me..why anybody. if theres anybody who had any of these problems before or just might know whats going on please post something. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

You must have a short worked into your headlights somewhere. Inspect your wiring for bare wires that might be touching chassis.



As for the one rear wheel hopping, that's wierd! You shouldn't have any play as far as that goes..

yeah, check those headlights, the other night while working on mine, it was runnin fine n stuff while i was playin with my head light(pass side isnot on the car right now- replacing soon) and i touched somethin wierd. all the lights inside shut off and the starter wouldnt turn. turn the key and nothing- not even ligts gettin dim inside. anyways, i started gettin pissed and kicked the old headlight motor and all the sudden bam- lights come on and the damn headlight motor just starts goin crazy and workin! i bout **** a brick when that actuator arm started workin. i didnt pop fuses that i know of but if i were you, i'd check those lil bastards.

well i think im going to change my rear. Would anybody be able to give a write up on the jobor know where i can find a DIY page. does the subframe have to be pulled to get to it? looks like it needs to but it also looks like the control link is bolted to the subframe. ifs its only a few hours worth a work i will just give it shot. the rear is just about the only part of a car i havent got to play around with yet so i think its time for me to step up to the plate.

How old are your shocks? It sounds lie you have a blown out shock to me. That will make 1 corner of a car bounce down the road. I see it on hoopties all the time.

up&coming 05-11-2004 04:24 PM

would a bad shock do that even when its jacked off the ground? the paint on the springs are chipping and look like **** so im taking there old and all. but i will switch them around and see what happens.

OK i got her started today but i don't know how. all i did was move the main harness around to see if i can find a break or anything. didn't see one and thought let me try and see what happens. well she still shakes but not until it gets around 60 or so. im going to see what's up with this strut. one thing i noticed is i but it in 1 and let her idle at 20 mph the left wheel was spinning up to par but the right one was barley moving if at all. now t2's have posy rears aren't both of the wheels supposed to role the same speeds together when off the ground

i let it run in 2nd at idle for about 15 mins. then started to give it some throttle... no shaking got it up to 145 with out anything and both wheels are spinning together hmm. i still havent took her for a test drive yet https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

got her out for a ride https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif aaaaaahh that felt good nothing wrong with her. just need to rig up the break booster to the jdm manifold some how.. but parking lights only come on.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif headlights still wont come on or go up or down and when i hit the hi/lo the little blue light isnt coming on in the dash.. could the switch be burnt out?
