Mitsubishi Repair: 97 Mitsubishi eclypse 2.0 non-turbo manual, mitsubishi eclypse, cv joints


Question
When i first start off in 1st gear, if i give it too much gas the whole front end shakes as if the alignment is off, but i just had it aligned. and I just put new tires on it. everything else works fine as far as acceleration is concerned. this happens when i turn corners while accelerating to. whats wrong?

Answer
Jay,
Check your power steering belt and power steering pump.  Make sure you have no leaks and that your belt is in good condition.  Also check your power steering fluid level.  If low, fill it up with the recommended fluid as indicated in your owners manual.

It's possible your wheel bearings and/or CV Joints are worn and need to be replaced.  Have your axles checked for any ripped or leaking CV boots.  
Good luck!
