Hey guys,

Recently when i full throttle my G in 1st gear, my car vibrates and pops (at the rear). It almost feels like my rear tires are slipping but with vigorous vibration and the car wont really accelerate even though the RPM is maxing out. Could it be my drivetrain (VLSD) going bad? Please HELP?

thanks!

 

was it wet out? was the tcs on or off?

 

Your tires are spinning, and wheel hop is occurring...

 

+1

 

Sounds like wheel hop to me. Are you giving it a lot of gas to start the car moving? Have you driven stick before this car?

 

The odd thing is, i have driven my G for a lil over a year now, and this occurance (hop/vibrating) just started recently. It used to only hop when i do sudden throttles in the wet. But now it happens when ever i step on the accelerator aggressively (DRY or wet). Also i realized my G is alot less willing to do donuts now, all it does is fling the tail, cant really do a controlled donut nomore.

Plz help!

 

Maybe your tires are wearing out and thus they're spinning a lot more than before?

 

donuts in a g35!! why??

+1 bald tires

 

bingo

 

ya i agree on both counts.

wheel hop and bounce is the noise/ vibration

and the reason why its occuring more is because everytime you do those damn donuts, you wear a good portion of your tires off. you are probably down to slicks now (or damn near it) and you are starting to notice different handling characteristic.

try and take it easy in the turns there andretti.

do you know how to check for tire wear?

 

For a more accurate assessment post some recent time slips.

 

its common sence to know when your tires are done. But if you look closly there should be a tread wear indicator. I would check them. If there bad. i would replace, and if the problem still occurs then i would advance to taking it to the dealer
