Half Shaft question??, Why does my car shake? Options

[Baddica95]

Ive had my swap done for a couple of months now(3rd gen 3sgte with 5sfe tranny) and i noticed that the car shimmys real bad when i drive..I figured it was just a alignment problem but when i took it in to get aligned, the guy said thats not the problem. He said the problem is the half shafts. My car is lowered approx. 1.5 inches and i guess that half shalfs are too long or something so he said i need to find some sort of different half shafts...does anyone know what im talkin about or what he is talking about. I would most certainly appreciate it. thanks guys

You don't need different axles. You may need to replace them though - if they are damaged at all.

It may also be motor mounts (check ALL of them) or ball joints.

I've had all of these problems on my Camry at various stages and each one can cause what you are describing.
