Harsh vibration turning right.
We just finished up a B18C swap in my brother's 99' civic ex and took it out for a test drive. We noticed that when we turned left it felt normal, no abnormal vibrations etc, it felt great. As soon as we start turning right the car would vibrate harshly no matter what speed we went. Anyone have any ideas as to what would cause this? I looked everything over but everything seems to check out from a visual stand point. It has koni yellows w/ ground control sleeves (ots rates).
We did accidently throw on a <u>slightly</u> off balanced wheel on the passenger side, but I don't see it making that bad of a vibration. I've driven on a bent rim worse than that one and it didn't even come close to feeling that bad.
Thanks for the help. If you need anymore information please let me know.
I'll also post this in the suspension thread to possibly get more responses.

Re: Harsh vibration turning right. (DrewMD)
easy way to eliminate the wheel from suspicion is to put the rear wheels on the front, or at the least switch the front wheels to see if the condition changes.
does it change under acceleration while turning right? could be tie rod end or binding axle...lots of stuff. need more details.
