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 |

From personal experience, the $75 ones are junk, had to warranty the right one on my other car 3 times in 14 months, finally bought a new assembly instead of rebuilt. I would get a NEW joint and install it on my old axle if I were doing it. they arent all that hard to change once the axle is out, a couple of clamps on the boot and and a couple of snap rings. May even want to repack the other one and put on a new boot while you have the axle out.
