question for you guys. i've got a 94 celica gt, auto, w/o ABS. driving aroung the city, there are no noises except for an occasional knock from the drivers side. i did pull the driver's side wheel off and clamp holding the CV boot on was loose, so i tightened it using the Toyota clamp tool. granted i know i had lost a lot of grease already, so i don't drive it much, i drive my b/f's car.

my question is, could this vibration, which is speed sensitive be the driver's side CV? we are going to head out to the pick-n-pull today to grab some 5th gen mirrors, a new intake boot, and a driver's side axle as i did have to drive 1500 miles from boston to West Palm Beach with this problem. so it is probably pretty screwed up right now.

i've read the best way to get the axle out is to pull like a mofo, a pry-bar, tire-iron, etc. and i already have a DIY for putting it back in. but any other tips would be appreciated. also, are there any axles from other models that wold fit the same? like a camry, corolla, MR2? thanks in advance.

Like if i was driving for more than an hour at that speed my arm would fall asleep from the vibration..lol. But yea after i got my cylinderhead fixed, my mechanic noticed my PS belt was cracked and about 2 break, he changed it..every thing is fine now.

alright, i'm the lucky guy who get to get coated in grease everytime she needs something done. i replaced the driver's side axle as both CV boots were pretty much gone and grease had shot everywhere in the wheel well, along the transmission, etc. the CV joints were shot and i was able to find a refurbed one for $50. the vibration is a little less than what it was originally, but it is still there. we just took a trip last ngiht to Charlotte, NC and about 8 hours into the trip, the vibrations was back, but no where near as bad as it was. this time it feels like it is coming from the passenger side. the vibration seems to be load dependent. starting at 60, if you floor it, you can feel the vibration get worse, but if you are just cruising, it is not bad at all. also if going up a hill, the load worsens. if pushing past 90, the vibration does not seem to go away, but quicken beat. this car apparently sat for year without moving, and we are just now finding all the problems.
