Hi Guys, I need help my 1995 200sx ser. was making a noise in the left front so I had it checked and I was told there was play in the axle, so I went and had both axles replaced. When I accelerated away from the shop the car shudders badly in 2nd and 3rd gear, so much that you can see and feel the steering wheel shake. I took it back and they replaced the left axle again and that didn't help. So I took it to another shop and they said the axles are fine.

I don't what to do next. I saw a post from another member that maybe the spark plugs were fouled I checked the plugs and they were fine. Any help would be greaty appreciated.

try jacking you front wheels and turn your car on and have someone run car and shift while you listen close to the wheel the sound is going to be there as soon as the wheel turns, the faster the wheels goes the louder the noise will be and that could be your wheel bearing try to check that before you do anything to your transmission

I wonder if a worn out ball joint or tie rod could be the problem

Thanks for the advice, there isn't any noise just a shuddering that goes right through the steering wheel if I accelerate hard. I will jack the front up and check the wheel bearings.

I just finished replacing ball joints along with a lot of other work on the front, when we checked the tie rod ends were fine. I will recheck them.
Thanks
