Thumping and studdering on Fast Cornering

[Destrukt]

One night when i was leaving work i desided to Rev up the motor and punch the gas as i turned the corner the car started to jump kinda like driving over a bunch of small speed bumps in the road once i got the car straight it went away

its kinda hard to explain what the car did but it only does it with alot of gas and when i am turning sharp

Wheel hop maybe? If so, polyurethane motor mounts would be a good investment....well they aren't bad to have anyways.

[Destrukt]

yea i guess it could be wheel hop but that is caused by a motor mount?

[nova1313]

not so much caused by them but that will fix it a bit....

[Mikelb]

so, were ur tires even spinning??? if not, then it wasn't wheel hop... fwd vehicles are notorious for losing alignments... u may want to have your wheels aligned, as it may have been dragging one wheel... therefore it was hopping along...

does the car shake at high speeds???

[Destrukt]

ya it shakes at high speeds

but down the road at 30 mph it drives straight as an arrow

[gthompson97]

Shaking at high speeds usually means unbalanced wheels. Veering off into the median or oncoming traffic usually means that you're out of alingment. I would take it in and get the both fixed while you're at it so if it happens again, you can start look at suspension part failures. (ie. broken/bent control arm, bad bushing, etc)

yeah... check the bolts on your control arms as well... had a few problems out of them before... ^I agree with him... if it's driving straight though, it may not be the alignment... check the wheels... my cousin's car would stutter and shake while going straight... of course, this was after she jumped a ditch and went through a field... all she had to do was clean the mud out of the rims and it drove fine

alright cool i'll give those things a look the dam car is so low to the ground tho its a pain in the ass to get under it lol
