Re: 2000 GP vibration under acceleration - right turns
I went ahead and ordered the passenger drive shaft so hopefully that does the trick.

Re: 2000 GP vibration under acceleration - right turns
Well, for anyone interested the passenger axle was the problem. Got the new one in last night and no more shaking! It wasn't too bad a job, but WAY more tranny fluid leaked out than I thought would.
When I took the old axle out there was hardly any play in the joints, but there was some. I guess it only takes a tiny bit to cause a big problem. So hopefully if anyone else runs into the same problem this gives them a head start!

Re: 2000 GP vibration under acceleration - right turns
Play is not necessarily ever going to be the issue. The CV joint is essentuially a bearing. If there is wear then it will cause noises when rough surfaces roll against each other.
Glad you got it fixed.

Re: 2000 GP vibration under acceleration - right turns
Yeah me too.
Question for you guys. What is the best tool to use to separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle? A fork was what I ended up using when the ball joint separator I bought wouldn't fit. The fork worked fine, but it's really rough on the joint boot and every other tool I've seen wouldn't work because you can't get on top of the ball joint pin like you can on the tie rods. Is there a special tool that we can use?

Re: 2000 GP vibration under acceleration - right turns
All you need is a BFH and a few good swings.
I absolutely refuse to use a pickle fork. They do more damage than good. All you have to do is smack the steering knuckle area around the ball joint a few good times and it should pop free.

I agree a 4-5 lb sledge and a good whack and it will break loose. only time a fork is alright is when I am not re-using the part, I use the air hammer fork adapter for that.
