Why does my car make a vibration when I accelerate?
The vibration I’m going to cover here tricks most mechanics into thinking it’s caused by a tire or bent rim. This vibration only happens when driving under heavy acceleration, like when you are approaching the highway trying to merge into the speeding traffic, or on a jackrabbit start from a traffic light.
When do you Lift your foot off the accelerator do you feel the vibration?
You feel this vibration only when the vehicle is accelerating. If you lift your foot off the accelerator to maintain cruising speed, the vibration will disappear; if you press the accelerator in order to pass someone, the vibration will return.
What causes vibration in the CV joint when accelerating?
Damaged Inner CV Joints Can Cause Vibration on Acceleration. Damaged inner CV joints cause vibrations on acceleration and are very difficult to diagnose because the damage is so inconspicuous. You can only see it once the inner CV joint is removed from the vehicle and cleaned of all grease and debris.
Can you feel the vibration in the steering wheel?
Does not matter what speed your driving. If you take your foot off the gas the vibration stops. It’s not a really bad vibration but it seems to be getting worse. You CAN NOT feel it in the steering wheel. I have had a alignment, rotation, etc….
Where does the vibration come from during acceleration?
Slight to moderate vibration/shake during acceleration from a stop or during traffic crawl, up to about 15-20 mph. Not an engine hesitation or stumble. Vibration felt at the seat/butt area and not the steering wheel. Occurs most under load, when full of people, and during right turns. After 15-20 mph the car always drives smooth.

You can only see it once the inner CV joint is removed from the vehicle and cleaned of all grease and debris.
Is there a vibration in the front of my car?
No issue at low speed/gear acceleration. Only vibration in engine/front area at highway speed under acceleration or uphill load. Goes away under no load. Mine does this randomly.
You feel this vibration only when the vehicle is accelerating. If you lift your foot off the accelerator to maintain cruising speed, the vibration will disappear; if you press the accelerator in order to pass someone, the vibration will return.
How are acceleration and velocity used in vibration analysis?
They could use acceleration with limits expressed in acceleration (the results would be very similar to those obtained using velocity). Some analysts insist to take more than one measurement for the same point on the machine in order to use them as velocity and acceleration, for example.
What happens when your car shakes during acceleration?
The overall effects of this shaking or vibrations will lead wear and tear, increase in fuel consumption, strain and breakages of some parts, and eventually, your vehicle may occasionally go in the wrong direction when driving.
What does it mean when your car vibrates when you accelerate?
You have probably experienced a car shaking when accelerating. Different vibrations will mean different things. And you should know this by now. No good news should be expected when your vehicle starts to vibrate. It does not matter if the vibrations come after you accelerate, while in motion, or if the car is idle.
When do you put the brake on the vibration goes away?
While I’m used to driving manuals, I would say that the amount of vibration when sitting stopped in drive with the brake on seems excessive. The excess vibration goes away when put in neutral.
The vibration I’m going to cover here tricks most mechanics into thinking it’s caused by a tire or bent rim.

What is the vibration analyzer on a bullet?
Measure the vibration disturbance using the vibration analyzer, CH-51450-A (Pico Oscilloscope), to qualify whether the issue is E1 .5 as opposed to E1 or E4. Note: If using a single-axis pico sensor, mount and test both vertically and horizontally – E1 .5 rough idle vibration will usually behorizontal / lateral at the seat track.
