odd feeling in pedal on acceleration
odd feeling in pedal on acceleration
I feel something really odd when I accelerate it's very hard for me to describe.
it happens on acceleration only, not coasting or braking. i can feel a sort of vibration in the gas pedal.
also....it happens very often when the front end moves up and down.
it is most noticeable, for example, driving upwards on a probably 30* slope bridge, that has uneven but smooth paving, which causes the front to "rock" up and down. each time it goes up and down I can feel it. it's like a "whooomp, whooomp, whoomp", makes a muffled rubbing type sound.
I'd like to fix this but know absolutely nothing about what could possibly be wrong with it. I'm familiar with the parts though and have read the stickies at the top. I have eibach 1" drop pro kit springs and KYB AGX shocks/struts but it has been doing this ever since I bought it without all of those items.
car initially came with 2" drop sportline springs which were waaaay too low and KYB GR-2s so i replaced them with the above listed items.
new panhard bar, spohn, adjustable, as well as spohn fixed rear LCA's.
any suggestions would be helpful, this is the only thing that makes the car feel not "sturdy" as my other irocs have felt when driving. the swap to T5 helped a lot in making it feel 'sturdy' but this problem won't go away.
thanks for any help
