Hello

Ive just bought a 99 1.8S thats only done 33k, ive noticed that i get quite a harsh shudder vibration over some bumps when moving?, i have also noticed a small amount of sideways vibration type moment in the gearstick?

What should i be looking out for?

Engine/gearbox mounts would be my uneducated guess.

Do you think the shudder is coming from the engine or the whole car?

Maybe its running non-standard suspension, which can cause "scuttle shake" - feeling like the whole car is wobbling.

Hi.

I feels like its just from the rear of the car, you can feel it through the seats.

I must say its sliglhty better since ive reduced the tyre pressure to 26 psi. I have also noticed that under acceleration the car pulls very slighty to the right and to the left when you lift off.. its very very minor
