Bad Wobble After Swap, Tried everything....need some Ideas
I threw a first gen b16 into an 88 Crx Si, after the swap I have a really mean wobble that starts at around 90, but then continues all the way back down to 30mph. Go to park it and go drive around and its fine until you hit high speeds again and the wobble will stay all the way down the low speeds. Its coming from the front of the car, shakes the whole front really bad at the high speeds. The car didnt have this problem before it met the B, drove fine.
Hasport mounts
replaced Axels, correct half shaft
New Ball joints
Tires Balanced
Alignment
Swapped out front rims and tires also
Tein S tech for susp, stock shocks
Im running out of Ideas, Ive been under the car checking for anything lose and I dont see anything wrong. Im not a fan of paying a shop to work on my car, so im really trying to avoid that option. Also having someone else turning a wrench on my ride. Any Ideas would be very helpful

maybe some bad tie rod ends? maybe you should take it to an alignment shop and have it diagnosed. and when you know whats wrong you can wrench on it yourself.

Anyway to test that at home? I tugged on'em while I was under the car. No movement. I also did the same with the wheel in the air, no movement.

stock DA teg axels, using xsi half shaft. From hasports axel write up all is good in that area.

another thing is to check and retighten your ball joints because they may have settled.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Im gonna Eye that guy tomorrow, I did a search and found what I need to be looking at, Ive had the axels out again today to try different ones.
Keep the Ideas comin, Im so damn frustrated w/ this car not being able to drive it considering I have to use the interstate.

Re: (EH3B18B)
TTT for some fresh ideas
Should I be moving the wheel while its in the air, or on the ground?
While in the air the control arms will move in/out but not much play at the outer bushing.

Re: (EH3B18B)
I'd get 2 pairs of jackstands, put the car up with one pair and use the other to put some load on the suspension. Get someone to drive it up to speed and check around.
