Beetween 40km-90km it starts to vibrate the whole car and just gets worse till the car feels like it going to brakedown.

It feels like a bad diff or axle problem. It starts in the rear loud grinding noise then the tranny starts to shake.

The wierd thing is that it only last a few minutes then the car drives perfect. It's only when the car is warm and only last a few minutes.

Thanks

Nice car, and excelent choice. Have you had an alignment recently? What shape are the tires in?

The tires are new and the car has no shakes or shimmys it drive strait and perfect. Just sometimes it tries to shake apart??

That's odd, I honestly don't have any answers, I'm just giving a *bump* so someone else can look at it? Have you looked at the driveline at all or the level of hte fluids in the different gearboxes? A shot in the dark is all that is though.

Anyone ever have this problem?

Nice car though. Looks good. Is your center piece on your trunk black, or is that just shadows??

You *might* want to try putting a fuse in the FWD slot and driving around. I guess you're not supposed to do it for long periods, but maybe it will help isolate the problem?

His is 5-spd so he won't be able to try that.

Mark,

I remember a similar problem. In the middle of a turn, if I hit a bump, the whole car would shake violently, almost like a wheel was about to fall off or something

I put new tires on it, fearing that uneven tire wear was causing AWD binding, it helped a decent amount... but it didn't go away. So if you think your tires are uneven a little, give that a shot.

I'm also pondering new swaybar bushings or dumping these crappy-ass Monroe struts for fixes...

VERY nice car by the way (same color as mine

)! Ultra clean! And a 91 turbo 5spd is rare! Does it have an LSD?

My buddy say it might be ABS I pulled that fuse today but I will have to wait a couple of days to wait for it to happen.

Thanks again

And yes it has LSD

Take it to a good shop to get something asinine done. Like a oil change or something. While it is on the lift have them check out your half-shafts, tranny/diff fluids, and mounts (sway bar, tranny, rear diff). Oh, and your rear bearings. Everything I mentioned is super easy and quick to check if you know what you are looking for, except for the fluids, those take at least 30-55 seconds.

They will be happy to find something wrong with your car, so they'll let you know if something seems funny. Just don't let them fix it then, they'll try to ream you.
