    vibration when accelerating

    I wanna say its the csb. It vibrates hella bad during acceleration but holding speed or slowing down its fine. but the issue is that the CSB feels solid. Any other ideas?

      Manual or automatic? What happens when you put it in neutral? Does it happen all the time or only at certain rpm's? How are you "testing" the CSB that it feels solid?

          just grabbing the driveline on both sides and seeing if it wiggles. not a 100% method by any means. Its a manual and it does it at all RPMs. in neutral there is no vibration. when its out of gear there is no vibration. Nothing else makes sense to me but the CSB

              A vibration or noise from what seems to be under the car when accelerating that goes away if you lift off the throttle is most commonly from the drive shaft. The cause will be a failure of the rubber mount of the CSB, which in turn is caused by binding u-joints in the drive shaft. The fix is to replace the drive shaft and CSB (and probably the guibo) at the same time. Replacement of only the CSB may result in temporary relief, but until the drive shaft is replaced the new CSB will have a short life.
              The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                  The drive shaft was brand new a few months ago. I believe it to be the CSB also. I am replacing that. we will see what happens from there.

                          My guibo is in shreds and is missing atleast one bolt. Need to get on that.
