J A Blazer Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 My 2000 4-cyl A/T OBW has 120K; all original suspension components; never wrecked; new tires. If I'm going about 50 mph and back off the throttle, the car 'trembles' briefly as it decelerates. Also trembles/shakes at low speeds with uneven curb cuts, speed bumps, etc. What is the likely explanation? What bushings/mounts/etc. typically wear out by this mileage and might explain this problem? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 There are these things called tune-ups. Thats the first place to start New OE wires New OE recomended plugs fuel filter PCV valve Air Filter If there is oil on the tip of the old plug wires you will need new valve cover gaskets and seals. Then after that if we still have an issue we will dig further. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J A Blazer Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Nipper: Thanks for the suggestion but all of that has been done within the past 10K. The 'tremble' that I describe is a suspension/engine mount/bushing sort of problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Any axles replaced? Any Codes or CEL? Inspect the transmission mount. and thrpttttt for making life hard for me. ALso check for vacume leaks. I truly hope an airfilter has been changed since 10,000 miles ago. hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J A Blazer Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Front axles replaced about 12K ago, with MWE. Air filter replaced recently. No codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Maybe a u-joint going bad or a carrier bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 something as simple as tires wearing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Raise each wheel and wiggle it around to see if there is play. Also if you can get under the car shake the driveshaft and see if there is any play up and down which could indicate the carrier bearing.
