hey guys, last week i got my 17's fitted, today i got the car dropped via spring compression (the springs i had were already heavy duty low springs and i really, really want the car to be lower than low) everytime i accelerate hard, the whole car vibrates like well a vibrator.......
the wheels are balanced and aligned, hub rings fitted, i cant seem to find why the car is shaking so bad when i go hard!!!!! plz help!!! this whole wheel changing process is really giving me the $hits, one problem to another, i've blown my budget to all proportions........the car looks much better tho!!! any help would be much appreciated! thanks fellas |

the vibrations seem as though they are comming from the two front wheels, could it be that my shocks or struts which are stock standard are damaged? there is no vibration when i accelerate in neutral which might rule out exhaust noise.
a description of the vibration would be like that when u are driving on unbalabced wheels at over 120km/h (100mph i think!) the car then goes smoothly as long as i dont accelerate hard. Think i might have to change shockers.... thanks for all ur help so far guys, some more input would be greatly appreciated. |
