Car: getting that new burnt rubber smell everyday

Post

I just bought a 92 SE and it has a slip on it, but i was taking my first really sharp turn and the back end started shaking like mad!

Stopped at a stop sign and steped on it out of the turn and again, really bad shaking.

Also, the clutch is messed up... it tends to bog when taking it out slower, and at lower rpm's still grips well no slips but boggs...

Could the clutch be the source of the shaking problem, or could it be a bad slip, or even something in the suspension?

Any help or ideas would be great!Thanks, Rob

you just said your clutch slips all crappy. it may be that. the clutch might shudder when you turn. do that first, change diff fluid. diff might be all gunked up causing your wheels to hesitate too.

yeah i thought it could be clutch too, I am about to buy some diff additive from a chevy dealer and then change the diff fluid and will report on this as soon as i have enough to pay for the stuff...:pface

oh yeah camber came out ok but a tire is out of round other then that i think it is the diff fluid.

yeah.. what kind of shaking.. when you come to a stop, does your car bounce around, or is it as your acellerating/slowing down?
