When accelerating the car vibrates side to side. Also, when turning left but not right.

Hi,

It could be the transmission is slipping, but that doesn't explain the turning issue. Also, when you say it vibrates side to side, I'm not sure I understand what is happening. Do you mean the front of the vehicle moves left and right? If so, have you checked the suspension and steering components?

I attached a pic below showing different things related to the suspension. Check to make sure everything is tight. Next, I circled the engine cradle or sub-frame. Check to make sure nothing is rusted, the bushings are in good condition, and the general overall condition appears to be fine.

Let me know.

Joe
