front end prob....

my car has a violent thumping in the front end..... i wanna rule out the axles because i took out the drivers side and intermediate shaft and had it repaired,, i think it's in the drive line because the violent shake is really only bad on accelleration and decelleration, like if i'm coasting to astop sign it'll be shakin a lil, then i'll throw it in neutral and it'll be fine...hmmm......

bent radius rods will make it hop but i dont know if thats what your trying to describe.

Details, we need details.

Tell us exactly when it makes the sound, or vibration, and what you do or dont do that makes it worse or go away. AND USE THE ENGLISH LANUAGE. (not some basterdised rappa wanna be version.)

Trialing link from the subframe back to the lower control arm.
But you would have to whack something pretty hard to bend it (like a curb, or another car).

Want to give us some more detials on the problem?
It could be anything from worn wheel bearings to losse lug nuts. Or even a blown CV joint, or warped brake disc.

yea your problem can be anything, give more details into it.
