Hi all, I am having a serious issue with my civic. On the passenger side I am hearing and feeling a loud vibration that shakes the entire car. This happens just after I catch the clutch and start moving and the faster I go the noiser it gets. Funny thing is when I turn the car too the left thats when it gets really loud but when turing too the right I hear no noise at all..

I think it might be the axle but I am not too sure. Anyone know what could be happening?
Please note I have a JDM rsx swap and 2003 civic Si axles that having been working fine for about 8 months now. Also I run coil over springs (skunk 2) still have not put the caliper kit in. My wheels are tilted and the inside of my tires are going bald because of the weight of the motor. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks, Joe

do you hear a screeching high pictched grinding sound?

Take off yourright front wheel. Check to make sure that the little wind deflector shield
to the brake caliper is not hitting the rotor when the wheel is turned. If it is,
then just bend it back some untill it doesn't hit.

No, I think it's more than that because a wind deflector shield would not cause that intense vibration from just starting off and moving would it?? I do know that my CV joints with the rubber on bolth sides are worn down because the car is lowered but on the left and right they look exactly the same. I am gonna go do a quick inspection.

maybe its that strut problem people are having with their civics. the problem you are describing is very similar to what everyone else says, the noise when you turn and are moving, etc... check the thread out on the top of Veichle Issues and Problems, its a sticky

I finally found the problem. The bolt for the passenger side motor mount was loose really loose. The bolt was half way out. I used a longer bolt 2 lock washers and lock tite. It's good now
