front end hopping/shaking during burnouts
i have a '91 civic hb and i know that my c.v. axle on the drivers needs to be changed and that both upper control mounts need to be changes asap. But i just went in the rain and had some fun with my car and when i tried to spin the front tires, the front end was hopping. Do you think it is the c.v. cause it shakes when i do like 80km/h on the highway, but i let go of the gas and itdoesnt shake as much???

the hopping is normal for fwd cars from what i understand.

Traction bars help. You can also try dropping your tire pressure. Might be loose bushings. Give the tire a few strong tugs and see if you can feel any play. But seriously, do your burnouts at the drag strip.

Holy ----, My alignment teacher allowed me to take it in and inspect it and these are the things wrong:
The bushings in the front and rear are all loose,
the gear linkage is loose,
where the gear linkage meets up with the tranny, there is like a rubber boot, that is like kinda cracked and leaking
Both upper control mounts are ----
windshield washer tube that goes to my driver side "sprayer" is split and doesnt spray, leaks through engine compartment
rear passenger tire, a whole strip of thread is gone all the way around the wheel
