General Wibble Wobble

[Toolbah]

Helo peeps, got a strange problem where by the front of my daughters Seicento 1.1 S (MY 2002) wobbles under excelleration . When you ease of the gas the wobble disipates and all is well!!
Now I have checked the drive shafts and wheels for buckeling, all ok, had wheels rebalanced all ok even checked all suspension and engine mounts but still no resolve :bang:
Now Im sure I have read or heard some where that Fiat had a problem with the CV joints but cant be sure??
Can any of you good fellows able to enlighten me please??

is it like a rumble you can feel up the clutch pedal?

check that the rear gearbox mount is intact as they do give up alot

Engine mount would be the prime suspect, but I would also suspect the diff bearings. When was the gearbox oil changed/checked.

If no rumbling grumbling, I'd suspect that the track rod ends (they're ridiculously cheap) or the wishbone bushes are fubar.

I experienced a similar phenomenon when someone else popped a new engine and wishbones in my old Fulvia -- they left the TRAs a bit loose sothat whoever did the tracking would have an easier time of it -- too damn loose!

Just ordered oil so will change in the next few days.
I noticed whilst changing the inner cv boot that the oil was a little mucky so will be changing as a precaution.
Will check engine mount when I complete the above task.
Thanks for you help peeps.
