Hi guys,
A few months ago I got my Verada lowered onto King Lows/Superlows, and after that I have run into a few problems...

1. A rattle type sound from the rears when driving over less than smooth roads. Sounds like something is loose!

2. When accelerating I get a vibration coming from the front wheels when passing through 40km/h

3. My ABS light comes on intermittently. I can't seem to work out when it happens, but usually after driving for a while it will come on, and goes away once the car is restarted.

Any ideas on any or all of the above problems?

Thanks!

1: sounds like either the rear seat isnt clipped in properly (the backrest part) or the bottom eyelet rubber has perished.

2: does the vibration continue constantly from 40kph? or just between a certain speed/rpm? could mean a lot of things anything from wheel balance is out to the CV's are shot

3: ABS sensor ring is damaged or someone/something has knocked one of the wires to it.

#1 Had similar issues with mine. Eventually traced it to the radio antenna bracket system in the trunk, there was a loose plate.

#2 Is it worse when turning and applying power? Does the sound disappear if u back off the gas? Sounds a bit like CV joint to me too.

#3 Agree, could be bad connection there.

the acceleration thing sounds like my current problem, though ive been told mines the engine mounts and all 4 are dead and engines at its lowest possible point
$850 im having to fork out for it on wednesday :(
if it doesnt fix it i'll scream.
