Shaking under acceleration

[Apostle]

I've had a small problem since I bought the car. If i'm in gear...everytime i go to push the gas, even just a lil, theres a loud snap or click coming from underneath the car, then the car slightly shakes. But if im cruising its totally fine. Then when I let off the gas it does the same. These are probably driveshaft or diff problems, a field that im not experienced in. My friend had an M3 that had my symptoms, and all he needed was new diff bolts cuz the old ones snapped, but that was a common defect on his e36 chassis. But I don't think thats a common problem on our supras. I just wanted to know if anyone else had my problem to give me advice b4 I stick my nose under there.

Thanks!

Get under the car and wiggle the driveshaft. Watch where it moves. I think it is most likely a bad carrier bearing but it could be u-joints also.

Not a bad idea to do a bolt check while your under there, make sure everything is tight and where it should be.

Could be a busted transmission mount.

^^Yup.. Do cv joints on these cars go out very often? Im sure its no where near the wear a FWD vehicle sees.

 

[Supracentral]

Very rarely.
