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

Check the jack shaft carrier bearing that bolts to the rear of the engine block. Make sure everything is tight and its aligned correctly. Im guessing some of the bolts may have wiggled loose or werent tightened enough.

Cuz we did find the bracket that holds the passenger side axle straight unbolted.. so we got 3 bolts and held it back on. but then today I felt it again..  -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
