Vibration on acceleration from standing start

Jan 29, 2009 1 Replies

It happens in my 1999 OBW when starting up from a stop: a low- frequency shuddering feeling in the steering. It goes away at any other time.



What's happening? Is it important to fix it?



The car has 165,000 miles on it, but I think of it still as my "new car."

Inner joint on one of the axle shafts has gone bad.
