I HAVE A 1995 DODGE SPIRIT. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THERE STARTED TO BE A SHAKE ON THE FRONT END. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID ITS SOMETHING WITH THE AXLE. I TALKED TO A FRIEND TONIGHT WHO HAS A 1995 ACCLAIM, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME VEHICLE JUST A DIFFERENT NAME PUT ON THE BACK.. HE HAD THAT SAME PROMBLEM A YEAR AGO.. TALKED TO ANOTHER FRIEND WHO HAS A 1995 DODGE SPIRIT. HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 6 MONTHS AGO. TALKED TO SOMEONE WHO HAD A 1994 DODGE SPIRIT .. SHE NEVER HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT.. IM THINKING THAT IT HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE FRONT AXLE OF THE CAR.
