i got a problem with the wifey's car, supposably this weekend she let her sister borrow her sc2 for the weekend. Well on monday when she got it back. she told me that their was alot of vibration coming from the engine. When we asked the sister what happened to the car she said that she hit a median coming home from work.

So now we have a problem, it seems that their is alot vibration when Accelerating. we took it to Big O tire to see if the alignment was wrong. and they told me it is fine.

The only thing that i might think is the problem is that the motor mounts have Collapsed. Could some one solve this problem?

Hit the median..

How fast, how hard...

There could be a lot of things wrong...

Busted suspension parts come into my mind..

ok, if she hit the median, what kind of car damage are we talking about? this could help out a bit. but i mean it could be mounts, cv joints, exhaust, intake, problem within the engine, suspension, or maybe tires. if she hit a big bump, not hit a median, the tires can develop bulges which makes the car vibrate. my old car had this happen while i was driving down the highway, hit 2 potholes and i felt the car vibrate so bad and fluid shot into the car. after alot of thinking and messing around i happened to notice one tire had a bulge in it and the other had a dent and the fluid was from my speed sensor o-ring busting and letting transmission fluid in.

Vibration when accelerating but not coasting?

Check the axles, wheels, wheel bearings, and front end pieces for wear or looseness. Sounds like something was knocked out of balance up front, be it tires, axles, or something else entirely.

i found out what the problem was. It was a cracked suspension bushing or in the repair manual tension strut bushing.

Does anyone know where i can get one?

probably every auto parts store or go to saturn. sometimes saturn actually has a better price, rarely but sometimes.
