Hey guys, i lowerd my car about 2 weeks ago here's a pic.........
also since iv lowerd it i now get vibration almost like cluch shudder (im auto) only happends when i put the foot down about half or more, but it does'nt seem to happen everytime........any idea's?

could it be my shocks? when i was changeing the springs i pushed one of my front shocks down and it sprang back up, but when i done it to the rear shock it just stayed there!!!!!!!

thanks

thanksIts common, go and get a 4 wheel alignment. Costs around $70 - $90

Since lowering your car, the rubber is running on a different track so your camber may be out a bit..

Once the car gets up to speed it usually aligns the wheels correctly..

If youre on the south east side of Melbourne, theres a Beaurepairs that do a really good alignment over in Braeside.

Just had my 4 wheels changed around at this place..

ps if any one knows exactley what is causeing these vibrations let us know and its not the alignment done that its not the balancing done that could be the cvs didnt get that checked yet but if any one knows please feel free to reply to this matter thanks :D

Have you got new tyres since lowering? Mine had some slight vibrations afterwards, i got the balancing done and it fixed it mostly..

Soon as i got new tyres and the balance done.. no problems.

Its the wear of the tyre :)

Yep i have the same drama with the front end. It seems to be more of a shudder as you put on the power. Now i had this before i changed my old pedders springs and shocks. Now i'm running king springs super lows front and lows rear and i still have the problem even after wheel alignment and balancing. What i'm thinking is that the c.v's now being about 140,000km have seen there time and will need to be replaced if not one both. But how old is your car km wise .
The shudder will go if you drop power than plant it again, but also i have fouind that it comes on when your gently accelerating and your running over slightly uneven ground. So it's got me buggered!! Yeah i'd like to know if any of the Tec's know what this could be??
