[QUOTE="0909, post: 1396292, member: 29749"] defcon1, a) Did you experience any of these vibrations or jerking before you changed the spark plugs? [B]0909: frankly, i changed the plugs 2 days after i got the car. but i recall not having such jerkiness though.[/B] Engine coils (our car has 6...) do not come about all of a sudden. You feel some intermittent misfiring first...and it carries on that way for a long time. Vibration and jerking immediately after changing plugs suggests to me that you may be using the wrong rating of spark plug. I'll post the specific rating later when I get home. I think I have a set of stock Nissan plugs in the house. [B]0909: plz do....[/B] b) The vibration in your steering...only when you move slowly or also when stationary? I need to know this. [B]0909: yes, from slow (at D, no acceleration at all) to even 60kmh[/B] It is very possible that something may be wrong with your drive shaft...try getting your mech to regrease the drive shaft joint first and see if it improves. [B]0909: My mech darn busy type...says kaput straight off. i reckon he's not quite willing to do it. quoted RM2++ for a recond one.[/B] But the more likely reason would be that your lower arm bushings and/or are worn out and have to be replaced.
