“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.”
