Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
hi guys, my eclipse shakes real bad under acceleration at mph over 35-40 when i let off the gas it stops. for instance i get the car to 60 and it feels like it is going to throw me out and the wheels fall off. when i let off the gas and just coast it rides smoothe, touch the gas again no matter how slight it starts again. i just replaced the motor mounts , spark plugs and oil but that didnt seem to work. i also just had tires put on and balanced. i do have a little play in the drive axels where they enter the tranny but not sure how much is ok any help on this would be great as i am at my wits end with this thing

Worn inboard CV joints will cause what you have described. They can have in and out movement but no back and forth or side to side. Get this checked out and stop that bronco from bucking.
