Viberations on highway while accelerating, ideas?
Hey guys,
I took my car out on the high way for the first time and just got back about 15mins ago. I get a viberation in the steering wheel everytime I push on the gas pedal in 5th gear, 4th gear is not so bad, but its still there. I can kind of feel it at lower speeds, such, but it isnt so much of a big deal. When I'm in 5th gear it was making something on the passanger side tap/viberate, it might have been the seatbelt.
I'm wondering, could this be an axle? it doesnt really happen when i'm decelerating. Is it because I just replaced the tranny and such and the car is that much out of allignment, or is one of my axles bad?
Its been awhile, but isnt the main test to see if an axle is bad to drive around in tight circles and see if you get a binding or clunking noise?
Thanks guys!

It sounds like the axle to me. You will hear noise when you are turning when the axle gets really bad. Sounds like you have a few months of ginger driving left on it. I would replace that pass. axle soon though.
