Help
I have been having trouble with my Monte,when I accelerate the whole car shakes,it also does this when I turn right.I installed new wheel bearings today and I thought it helped but it didn't.If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks

Just had them put on a few months back.Before I changed the wheel bearings today it felt like the shake was coming from the passenger side,now it feels like it's coming from the driver!I really don't know about this one.

Does your steering wheel shake? Does it feel like it's the engine or suspension parts shuddering? Do you still have the original CV axles? They tend to have that effect on a car. How many miles on your Monte?

Feels like suspension to me,I'm not sure about the axles but I think they are original(I know the wheel bearings were they came out in 2 pieces),the car has 201,000 miles on it.The boots on the axles are in good shape.

Jack the car up and try to shake the wheel in all directions to see if there is any slop. Yes a swaybar could be the issue. But also tie rods or ball joint or control arm bushings etc. Could be the issue as well.
Your not mistaking warped rotors for this issue are you?

I've had this problem on the right/passenger side of my 02 SS. I replaced my hub assembly, strut, outer tie rod, didn't fix it. Found that the inner joint of my CV axle was way shot. Symptoms were the same as yours. The axle was Farely easy to replace, once I got a crow bar! If you have already replaced your hub assembly you can replace the axle with easy. Good Luck and Safe driving!

Thanks for the advice guys!After inspecting it a little more and jacking it up and putting it in gear and running it, it turned out to be the inner cv joint on the driver side just like JC Colon said!I thought it acted like a cv joint but they looked to be in good shape.Guess looks and can be deceiving sometimes.LOL Thanks again for all your advice!
