Vibration

Will bad Conrtol Arms cause the car to vibrate when you break traction, I have a FWD V6 and it has not T/C by the looks of it and its wet here where I am at the moment, whenever the wheels break traction the whole car goes into a skitso vibration eminating from the front of the car obviosly.

If so Could this mean upper or lower arms, or is it to hard to tell?

Your input would be awesome thanks.

Vibrator.

your car does likely have EDL, which would cause the ABS to pulse the front wheels to try to force the diff to redirect the power to the other side.. That's probably what you are feeling.

Re: Vibrator.

Thanks for they reply

But...
It didnt seem to do it before tho its only just started happening.

Has anyone else had this prob with a Front Wheel Drive? I get a little suspension knock so Im thinking it is my control arms, but i dont know whether it is causing this or not

Could it be an engine or tranny mount, and if so how do you check those ? Visually ?

If someone could please reply it would be awesome, i know i sound like a scab but if i manage to find the problem ill do a writeup for an F.A.Q. or something.
