s60, clown car wobble
 

Hi all, my 2001 S60 feels like a clown car at about 60-65mph. Only under load does it vibrate. The tires, alighnment, balancing has all been done. From an outside observer the car appears fine, no tire bouncing. Ther is no unusual tire wear. If I am going down hill, I feel nothing unless I step on the gas then the car shakes again. I let go of the gas, and it stops. Does this sound like mounts, U-Jints, axles? The car feels like just the body is moving side to side, no steering wheel shake. This started about 10K miles ago and I am ready to give up and take it timy local independant.

thanks forany suggestions,
matt

If it were an engine or tranny mount you'd feel only 1 clunk/wobble everytime you engaged/disengaged the accellerator.

I've had seen an issue with the right front drive shaft have way too much play on the inner cv joint and causing a wobble when acclerating.

what was it?

no need to reply. It was my right front axle shaft.
