[QUOTE="tc@torpedo, post: 7886, member: 4674"] First, prob started with slight vibration from wheelbase of the car under high acceleration especially after a tight slow corner. One mechanic said it's the longshaft prob. Cannot fix. Have to change whole thing - RM5K. Went for second opinion.Second mechanic said it's the CV joint (round metal piece with 6 bolt studs outside and 6 ball bearings inside). Said parts will take 4 weeks to get so recommended to 'machine' the existing part. Cost just under RM600 but wasted. Made the problem worse.Now the car vibrates at all speeds. Second mechanic said need time to run in but I'm not convinced of his honesty since I managed to find the part with 1 phone call which he said would take 4 weeks. (Will elaborate more on these two mechanics later on this forum once I solve this problem.)Going to try Mspeed in USJ tomorrow morning. Appreciate any feedback and advice before doing so. Thanks.
