    Little help please. I’m having some weird wobble at around 80kph when accelerating. If I let off the gas it goes away. I’ve basically rebuilt front end on this thing. I did notice that my passenger CV has a bit of play in and out but is solid otherwise. I’m at my wits end trying to find the source of this wobble.

    What about your u joints or carrier bearing on the driveshaft? Going bad they will definitely create a wobble.

    The CV axles having a bit of play going into the front diff is normal. If excessive on the driver's side then you might need a new needle bearing, but I don't think that would create a vehicle wobble while driving

    Just a tip to check for rotational vs stationary problems. Put it in drive and press the brake and hit the gas at the same time. While stationary is there any vibration? If so check spark plugs and stuff cause it’s not a rotational vibration.
