replaced axles balljoints tie rod inner and outter alignment new tires rims happen after lowering car 1 1/2 same with new parts and old . the noise showed its self after lowering the car please help running out of money to fix ????? put lowering springs 1/5inch front 1/3 rear eibach springs and put 17 inch rim and 205 45 17 tires brand new. replaced the rim on drivers side this is the area of noise. all balljoints new no play no bushing play struts are new kyb's milage is 150,000.
this vibration starts only on accelration when i hit 20 to 40 mph and if i am just doing the speed and not pressing the pedal just cruising not bad at all but if i accelerate the is the and at high speed is scary feels like the car is going to fall apart . the people that alig. the car said the front was bad spent the 222.88 for the front mount and just the same . WHAT THE HECK PLEASE HELP GOING CRAZY

Please tell
- what was exactly done: "after lowering the car please"
- current mileage
- strut mileage
Verify all balljoints again.
Swap tires from front to rear.

:runaround:ive checked all balljoint s no play in them . the lowering kit was eibach springs 1/5front 1/3rear. that noise sounds like in drivers side they scrached the same front rim so made them replace it and still no change so thinking it was the tire moved to the rear nothing . the people that did the alignment said the motor mount front was bad so spent 230.00 dollars for mount has a sensor in it what the heck .???? ive worked on cars for 7yrs and never seen that before but no fix still the same .dont know what else to do ????????????????????????????????????
Mount has no sensor. Maybe "the ppl doing the alignment" should start selling fish?
If rims are ok, no loose bolts, axle bearings ok, then alignment is not ok... Scratch sound should leave sctratches [enclosed failed bearing is nosee]. Verify the toe in alignment yourself, see http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/18
The mechanics here are not rocket science, but needs an experienced mechanic. Find a race tune shop for just test drive/troubleshoot - later decide whattodo. Must get references before going to a mech, just anybody wont do.
3gen maxima axles: there are known to be "5 kinds" of axles which seem to fit but cause problems. However, cant see how this would be an issue here. Still, when shaking starts as power is applied, something funny happens: wheel toe in angle changes always, but maybe b/c bad bearings or loose supports the axle ? starts to vibrate. See http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/25
If strut is broken, then wheel may jump wildly during accel/decel [definitely new parts can be defective]. Test/push both front corner shocks forcefully down; is the damping feeling equal?

Check your other motor mounts! Thats the only thing I think it could be.
