Science Abuse Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 Lucky me, I was rearended by a Suburban friday night. To give you an idea of the impact, he was only doing about 10-20 mph, it bent in the rear support that the trunk latch is mounted to, so the trunk doesnt line up or close properly. It busted a LED light, knocked the LED out on the other one, so both are shot. Tow hooks punched holes in the bumper cover and foam support. Now, I was stopped witht he gar in gear, my foot on the brake, and the hit pushed me foward about a foot and a half. Now I have 2 drivetrain issues. A - Vibration abouve 60 mph, gets worse when I lift off the gas. B - When I exit a turn and give it some gas, I get a whole lot'o'revs and none of it makes it to the ground untill I lift and straightent he car. Like it wants to downshift but misses the gear. Any idea whats goin on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbojc Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 A- sounds like a posable drive shaft ishue. my frend chad had tis problem in his jeep. he hit the balancer ring off road and shifted it on the shaft. Thus throwing it out of balance. It may be somthing to check. B- sorry eric no ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the car experts on here will agree with me and help BlackBird get as much compensation as he deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
