Weird wobble on acceleration
 

since I got my car, when i accelerate from a dead stop (gentle acceleration), something in the back feels like its wobbling/rumbling/low frequency vibration. I'm not sure if that is normal maybe because of the automatic transmission or the LSD or if there is something actually wrong with it. anyone have any input?

Thank You

Is it when the car is just warming up or all the time? My auto does it on the first turn out of my neighborhood in the morning but that's it.

My car seems to do it when cold, I have the 6MT. I always thought this was attributed to the LSD

Yeah its usualy my first turn, but I usually warm up the car till it idles to sub 1000 rpm though. But you guys think that it is normal? At least I'm not the only one that is experiencing this.

It's IMO normal. I've noticed this too, but it goes away after a few mins. I think these tires are very susceptible to temperature variations and will very minimally flat spot causing a vibration and wobble. Also, if you warm your car up, you're only warming the engine fluids until you actually start driving.

Thanks for the input its greatly appreciated

It's the diff.

What he said!

As others said, it's the diff. When I pull out of my neighborhood in the morning (about 15 seconds from my driveway), I make a right turn slightly uphill onto a major boulevard and it always seems like it's struggling to transmit drive evenly despite the fact that I ease it out well under 2k rpm and I do it slowly. It goes away within a minute or two.

But for what it's worth, you aren't crazy. This bothered me for a bit too until I talked to some people about it.

this. google torsen lsd. you want it because racecar.

I googled LSD and although I think it may indeed make you have a weird wobble the site said there would be other effects as well! Don't think it be a god idea while driving either race car or not.

The title of this edition of their drift car build is "Weld the Diff, Yo!"

I think it would fix the problem entirely! :thumbup:

you get some too

I hear that in f1, the secret to that sweet cornering capability isn't ground effect and downforce, but that all the pit crews sneak in there at night and weld the diff (yo)

They also put on sweet axlebacks and paint the calipers red ;)

We are derailing this real hard hahaha

Not a big deal to derail now as 150 more answers saying exactly the same thing will become meaningless. The fun part is people will actually do that since they look at the first and skip the rest. Wanta start a pool on how long it takes before somebody else answers the op?

The google results for "speed" don't look good for driving either.
