I accelerate my 2000 neon, and it vibrates and get grinding noise

When I accelerate my 2000 neon, I start to get a vibration and grinding noise in the front end. The noise and vibration increase as I increase my speed. When I turn to the right (passenger side) the noise and vibration quit completely.However, the grinding noise and vibration continues when I turn to the left (drivers side) or if I am driving straight ahead.

Check the front drive axles and boots. A bad cv (constant velocity) joint can cause this.

I just replaced a wheel bearing and you wouldn't believe the sound it was making. Grinding, crunching ....the wheel was virtually ready to come loose.When you turn one direction does it get worse. That's a big indicator If it does this is probly your problem.Jack your car up,take your tire off and wiggle your rotor.If it has any play to speak of that's your problem My daughter drives it and it went from nothing to God awful in a day or two. The car has 188,000 miles on it...don't ask me how.

Loud Vibration / Sound Under Acceleration And Starting Engine.

Get the engine mounts checked. A bad mount may allow part of the engine to lie on a body or frame part, allowing engine vibrations to become very loud. Torquing of the engine (under load) can cause the same type problems.

1989 Suzuki Sidekick rear differentials

GET IT TO A MECHANIC!! Something is loose or about to collapse! Remember that vibration and noise can travel away from the source so get the mechanic to start in that corner.
You need to get the following checked!
-Prop shaft mountings at transfer box.
-Prop shaft mountings at differential.
-Prop shaft bearings.
-Differential condition and oil level.
-Drive shafts at differential end.
-Drive shafts at the wheel end.
-All flexing joints in the system including UV joints and CV joints.

My 2004 dodge neon sxt makes a loud grinding and rattling noise when i accelerate. the car is vibrating

I had the same problem with a Saturn I had and I would check the motor mount. If its coming loose it can damage a lot of other things costing more than what you would need.

I have an 1989 GMC Sierra K1500(4x4)5-speed. grinds when going...

It may be the transmission input shaft bushing or bearing, located in the rear of the engine crankshaft, in front of the clutch assembly. If the bushing or bearing is dry (needs to be greased), the input shaft will still try to turn with the engine rpm, even though the clutch pedal is depressed. Also, the clutch disc may not be fully releasing, which could possibly be corrected by adjusting the clutch pedal linkage. good luck
