wheel spin?

 

[beatjunkie]

This was my first asumption but not sure going to have a look tomo didn't no if it was common on the 172?

Sounds like axle tramp, mine does it if you accelerate in 1st quite normally, then plant it at around 2.5 - 3.5k revs, doesn't sound healthy at all!

mine does that when the wheels spin, sounds like the front of the car is jumping up and down.

makes a hell of a noise

Axle tramp what is that? sounds like a disease is there a cure

 

[Tucker]

unfortunatly the only cure is softer springs!

or stiffer dampers if you have aftermarket springs, which i'm guessing you do?

Sounds like exhaust hitting subframe or engine mount?any trouble selecting gears when you floor it?

 

[beatjunkie]

Nope car is completely standard, bar a ktec exhaust, gears are fine, it may just be excessive wheel spin due to the road conditions ill have a look at the weekend cheers for the heads up!

Just re read your original post, on a separate note, why didnt you use the hard shoulder to build up speed to match the traffic before pulling out?

Do you stop at the end of a slip road and wait for someone to let you in? :S
