Strange (((((shake))))) in the front right wheel under acceleration
Its an 03 A4 1.8t Quattro with 98k miles on it. In the last 2 weeks
ive noticed a little noise, rougher front end and a little wheel shake under hard acceleration. 2 times in he last 2 weeks ive had a harsh sound come from the front passenger wheel area. The grinding, for lack of a better word, only lasted a minute and had no effect on performance or handling.during. Now ive noticed a lot more wheel shake... or movement when making a right turn with decent acceleration. if I had to try and visualize what im feeling... .it would be that the passenger front wheel moves and inch forward then an inch back, then again, and again..... couple of times a second when making this type of move. If im running along straight at a 20mph and the engine up in the 4k rpm range and floor it... I can feel this type of action. Just not as bad as in a turn with the load on that wheel lightened. Ive put about 45k miles on it and never felt this before. Strut issue? Wheel bearing issue? God forbid, quattro issue? Any help would at least tell me where to start looking.. jake |

Strange (((((shake))))) in the front right wheel under acceleration
Is that what it feels like when CV joints go to heaven? Never had a
4wd with CV joints before, they've all been solid axle rides....... with offroad tires..... and roll bars. This is a new experience for me. I did all my own work on my 4x4s but working on this audi scares the hell outta me. Its got substantially smaller tolerances than my others cars. This something I can do in my driveway.... in an afternoon? Jake '03 a4 5speed (driven like its an s4) |

Check brake components and suspension components (tie rods) on both sides.
Usually CV Joints are noisy in the turns, but anything is possible. ;-) Also check the torque on the wheel lug bolts! -- later, dave (One out of many daves) > wrote in message oups.com... > Is that what it feels like when CV joints go to heaven?

Strange (((((shake))))) in the front right wheel under acceleration
>> A CV on the way out will either knock (if it's really screwed) or tug at
>> the wheel rythmically (if it's on it's way) on a turn under >> accelleration. Most noticeable at low speed with a high torque loading. Thats it... thats exactly what its doing.. Tugging at the wheel rhythmically in a turn under acceleration. Its like you were riding in the car with me!!! Now.... What can I expect to pay a shop to have the entire CV axle swapped out? This something I can do in my driveway with the right hardware? Should I change the whole axle... or just the offending joint? Thanks for all the answers fellas..... Jake |
