Interesting. So, the problem existed before and after you changed the belts?
I've never dived in that deep with my 2002, and have always let the dealer do
all the maintenance so, please forgive the next question. Does one of the
serpentine belts drive the A/C pump? And, did the shaking occur when the A/C
was on, off, or both? That A/C pump can put a pretty big load on a lil'
4banger. If a bearing was failing in the A/C pump, that might make the engine
shake pretty good. Just a thought.
