Small shake when accelerating
I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion what this could be. My truck has a small shake when I accelerate when stopped. It only happens at inital take off, but once I'm moving, it doesn't happen. I just put new motor mounts and trans mount on. Could it be that I need to adjust the mounts a certain way or maybe something else?

if it was prior to the mounts, How's your alignment? Tire-wear? Etc?

Re: Small shake when accelerating
Could be the u joints on the drive shaft are going, i would only feel a shimmy at low speeds, once going along over like 10 it would go away. Check that out. Good luck

Re: Small shake when accelerating
The shake was there before the new mounts, but now it is much more noticeable. One mount was ripped and maybe that's why I didn't feel it as much before. New tires, alignment, brakes....and everything else. I've actually had something similar happen with another truck I had, and it was the trans mount. Right now I'm leaning towards ujoints.
I'd like to add that it feels like the shake/shimmy is in the front and it's not in 4wd.
