V70 vibration

Post by motor1947 »

I have 2001 V70 T5 w/141K. Going down the road on level surface car is smooth. Once any load is apllied to engine the car begins to shake. It's not a wobbly shake but more of a vibration. Just rotated and balance tires and alligned front end and also replace broken engine mount on front of motor. I still have the vibration when engine is under load. Any sugestions.

Inspect your inner CV joints. Look for tears in the boots, etc. Then put your hand on each one and try to shake it - there should not be play.
