My car is a 93 Ford Escort LX. I had someone replace the left CV axle, and now the whole car vibrates like crazy when I step on the gas; I can't go above 35. It drove fine for 15 minutes, then after after a fast left turn, it started vibrating. Oddly, after the car was on the rack, and they fiddled with it, it drove fine for 10 minutes, then it started again. I've had different opinions on this. Some say the rack is loose, which it is, and missing bolts (most likely). Others say the inner tire rods are bad, or the CV axle from Advanced is bad. Other ideas are bad shaft bearings, inner axles, control arm bearings, or engine mounts. Your ideas are welcome. Your help is appreciated. Thank you.
