My 1998 zx2 is is an engine swap into a 1997 zx2 body. Lately everytime i accelerate at all it vibrates horribly or if i turn really sharp over a bump..my coil springs dont look damged theu are a little rusty, also my exhaust manifold has a hairline crack on piston 1.i just replaced cv axles amd it dint fix the problem.so anybody have any ideas on whats going on?
I was thinking ita either the shock absorbers or pivot mounts or the exhaust manifold, or coil pack?

Ive come to find out the springs on my pressure plate are worn causing the clutch and plate to smack together during acceleratin...ive been driving like this for awhile and can see significate burn marks and chunks from my clucth plate, it also caused solenoid 2,3,4 to be destroyed this is wjy i cant shift very well into those gears..im just going to go ahead and rebuild my tranny. Will be rebuilding it to performance grade, havnt figured outvwhat setup yet by ill keep posting
