So I used 2 get this rattling/banging sound after hard acceleration when I 1st slammed my car, realized there were no rubber in the coilovers to and that left a little space and the top of the the shock and when I hit bump it would bang and rattle but I fabbed up sum rubber inserts and now that thats fixed and rides a lil softer than before but now when I accelerate from 40-60 I get this fuckin shaking coming from the pass. side front wheel and this shit is annoying as f*** I changed the inner and outer tie rod for this side I bought 2 axels new but the pass wouldnt fit so I put the old one back in...could this be the cause??? after 60mph the shit goes away plz help this shit is like a thorn in my ass... :(

sounds like you might have lost a wheel weight. might want to have that wheel rebalanced. The reason the shaking stops after 60mph is that the heavy side and the light side switch places before the wheel can be thrown in one direction or the other, effectively harmonically balancing it at certain speeds.

it could be a balance issue its your cheapest bet to try first but with the axle you will never find a pass side axle for your car aftermarket since any aftermarket supplier show a 5sp and the 6sp using the same axle which they dont the 6sp axle is a larger diameter. if the balance doesnt fix it i would look at your wheel bearing it may not be extremely loose but it will do it

Even if they don't have play, see if they have a rough spot when turning them.
