strange -
the original reason I found this problem was because of a horrid shaking in my front end, I mean, HORRIBLE shaking - and the f'd up thing is, I popped the hood, saw the #3 wire popped off the plug, pushed it back down and all was fine.
Well thanks to DOHCstunr the spark plug issue has been resolved....but after a day of driving today, the shaking problem continues!!!!!!!!!!
For background, I just changed the driver side hub bearing assembly 2 weeks ago.
I examined everything and nothing looks out of the ordinary.
The way the problem shows up is, after about ten minutes of driving, the shake comes. It is violent, and is accompanied by all sorts of noises, like banging metal on metal when you step on the gas. It is definitely not motor related, doing 40mph I shut the ignition off and the violence persists. It gets stranger.
All of a sudden and for no reason, all the shaking, vibrating, banging, rotational noise stopped altogether. Completely normal. WTF???
From this evidence, it would appear that something that normally spins, must be getting hot (because it usually takes 10-15 minutes of driving until it starts).
But why would all the symptoms STOP?
When the vibration is there it feels like both lower ball joints broke, and the knuckle is banging off the control arms and tie rod. But then it all stops. The noise, the vibration....and upon examination, all the parts are tight and in good shape.
like I said, WTF?
This only happened after i changed the hub assy. Which concludes that I must have done something wrong.
