    is this problem when driving straight down the road,under acceleration,turning the wheel to the left or right and when or how this started.........any details will maybe help me to determine what might be the cause....let me know......

    it vibrates constantly unless it is at a stop. almost as if the wheel bearings that i just bought have went bad, or the rotor is warped. and it started about 3 weeks ago. i love this car and it means a lot to me, but i have sank so much money into it. maybe its possesed.

    My 1990 celica does the same thing. vibrates on the passenger side, and it's annoying.
    And i love my car also so when you find the solution. I would like to know.

Hi,
Have you ever replaced the shocks / struts? Are you sure your tire does'nt have a bump spot or out of round? I usually will swap the tires front to back to see if the vibration or bumping moves, good way to tell if the tire is bad. I've gotten some pretty poor tires before, some do have factory flaws that will cause that. Shocks will cause that also. Sway bar pins / joints that are worn can cause that also.

    this could be it. i had to switch the drivers rear tire with the passenger front because they were 2 different sizes on the front. would have torn my transmission up. i know this is a big do not do, but it was essential. the steel belts may have broken in the tire.

    Try a new tire, but if your vibration is worse when braking and your brake pedal pulsates, your rotor is warped. Usually due to improper torque on the lug nuts (overtightened usually) Mike

Most likely, you have a bad drive axle ( CV joint ) I would try that. Hope I Helped TJ

  • Anonymous Jul 30, 2011

    the CV joints are new as well i replaced those about 4 months ago

  • Anonymous Jul 30, 2011

    ddywrbks is 100% right. I had assumed that this had been done as it would have been the first thing I would have done if I could'nt have found anything loose or worn. TJ

1990 Toyota Celica will not start.

Sounds like the connection from the battery to the chassis ground is bad. Try replacing the Negative battery wire and make sure where it attaches to the frame is as rust free as possible

Take the door panel off. There are plastic snaps holding the rods into the lock that need to be unsnapped and pivoted. Then the rods just pull out. The rest is just held on by bolts.
