Ok so I just got my mr2 turbo transmission in my car and took it for a spin today. There is a loud grumbling noise/vibration on acceleration and decel. only.
 Im feeling like its drive axles, but I had them apart and lubricated them and they looked fine. On the driveres side I did use the mr2 inner space and boot assembly. But I used the mr2 inner shaft that goes into the transmission. I used a full spacer (OEM axle spacer) on the passenger side. I didnt use one on the driver side. When I have the front jacked up and spin the wheels the side Im turning spins ok. The other side doesnt move unless I go to the other side and move it by hand. Everthing seems in place and tight. With the car on the ground the axles look straight. I used the st205 rear and drivers motor mounts. Any ideas what may be wrong??????

Are you sure all your lug nuts are tight? Seems like a silly question, but that will cause exactly what you're describing.

Im pretty sure thats what Im feeling/hearing. It just kinda feels like a drive axle issue. |

Of those OEM "spacers" you mean the metal pieces with the grooves in the center in between the inner & outter axles correct?
If you got 2 full of those in between and managed to put the wheel back on I'd be amazed. I couldnt do it. I was about 1'' to long of an axle for me to put the hub in the axle. I had to CNC machine it down to about 1/2 the size. I also have a noise of some sort; I cant be sure but I think its my carrier bearing.

Yes I got it in with 2 OEM spacers. And drove the car. I unbolted the lower ball joint with the 2 nuts and 1 bolt. I made 3 spacers all different sizes so I can hopefully get it back on the road tonight. Any suggestions what size I need? Thanks for the interest!
