did you get a wheel alignment after you lowered the car? could be out a bit :)

Was there really a need to post this 3 times? in other forums aswell?

You might find with only 1 post to reply to people will answer. I answered in another post..


Could the admins clean these posts up and merge them into one thread?

How about referring the problem back to the shop who did the work? Otherwise my guess would be that the springs aren't seated properly, that the toe/castor bushes could be worn, or that the toe adjustment could be out. Has the car had a wheel alignment since lowering?

Or.. have they bolted your wheels on properly???? Maybe the wheel isn't seated flush against the hub face.

It really sounds like you need a wheel alignment, something has not been put back right, or something has been over/undertightened in the process.

But more then likely just needs all four wheels aligned properly, as it does'nt take much to get out of alignment especially when you got it lowered. :p

Shaking would be more caused by wheel balance not alignment...alignment usually causes the car to drift to one side, balancing is usually what causes the shakes.

But I'd be taking the car back to where you got the work done.

Yes killbilly, but he is talking about on accelleration, not just a general vibration which would be wheel balance.
:)

But then again it could be something totally different???

umm maybe u got ripped off on ur springs tehy may be doggies as in they are not straight they are bent ?

Yes killbilly, but he is talking about on accelleration, not just a general vibration which would be wheel balance.

If the balance was wrong, it'd shake all the time, on accelleration, off, any time. And also I've had a case with my old meteor when the shaking was unpredictable, it'd stop and be fine some days, but others it'd be terrible.

On accelleration still wouldn't be wheel alignment, if it was out of alignment he'd just steer to one side.

And I agree on your last post..it could be something different altogether...

Again, as posted in one of the other 3 posts on this same topic, there is a possability that the CV is worn and now being forced to run at another angle, (after it has been lowered) it may be the cause.
The way to check is to remove the joint, remove the boot, clean it and check for pitting. I had this exact same problem after initially lowering my Verada.

I think your onto something there madmagna, as this would explain the accelleration thing.

Very much like CV prob. If u r a Sydney Dude, go and see Richard at Pedders, Liverpool for suspension/drive train stuff.
