Vibration under acceleration
Hi. I recently bought an awesome Sw20 2k cup car. Recently it has a worsening vibration under acceleration at app140kph and above (on track) would this likely be CV? If I slip into neutral and coast at speed it stops. ??? Any help very much appreciated.

Re: Vibration under acceleration
While I have not much experience, is the vibration in one corner does it feel like? If it pulls to one side, it may be a worn suspension bushing or two?Brendonaustin wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 11:22 amHi. I recently bought an awesome Sw20 2k cup car.

Re: Vibration under acceleration
The CVs will still be spinning at the same speed as the wheels but if the load has been taken off them, maybe it stops the vibration.
Wheel bearing maybe? Does it vibrate when you let off the power but leave it in gear?
If it was clutch or flywheel you'd notice it at the same RPM in all gears.
If it was a wheel it would stay vibrating at that speed.
