I've had a wobble for a while now.. About 6-7months.. And i just cant seem to cure it, so i've come to you guys for some help/advice.

Im running a JDM EF8 CRX, with Tein Coilovers, Cusco upper and lower bars etc.

Ive had a problem where my steering shimmy's/vibrates most noticeably from 50-80mph.. When given load (i.e throttle) it tends to do it ever so slightly worse.. Not enough to make me think its the Inner CV..

18months/2 years ago i had the Track/Tie Rod Ends done (Could they be shot in this amount of time?)

New wheels and tyres have gone on.

New brake discs and pads.

I just brought 2 v.good driveshafts and greased them up properly and put them on.

New intermediate shaft went on.

Proper 4 wheel allignment was done a few times.

Im running out of things to change, and i need some advice.



I noticed one of the ARB bushes was completely gone, this shouldnt really cause a shimmy should it? Im going to change it anyway.

Im going to change lower ball joints also, and theres no play in the wheel bearings, but should i change them anyway?

What else is there that could be an issue? Im losing the will to live with this car

the EF shake, i would also like to know since i have it. i just live with it.

 

were the wheels balance correctly

 

Yes lots of times, brought new wheels and tyres aswell

 

I have the same problem. I will be swapping my outter tie rods and lower ball joints here pretty soon. I will post up if it has solved the problem.

 

How soon man?

Also, anyone got any advice?

 

bump for some advice from anyone!

 

any grinding sounds? ....if so, that could point towards wheel bearings.

 

No dodgy noises..

Front end just feels kinda loose over bumps

 

had the same thing here in my DA.. inner cv joint :\

 

how bad was the wobble?

 

Yeah it's a wierd prob, my last 2 hatchback's din't have this prob, one of them was 89 si 5 spd, perfect chassis, the other 90 std....piece of crap chassis, and well niether had that prob. But anyways i noticed what u were sayin cause it's a strange prob with certain ones or models i think cause my moms dx 5 spd 89 hatch has this prob, but then again shes one of them peeps that doesn't downshift to slow down to preserve brake life like me, she just does fast constant stops from 50 or so, but not too fast...unless she has too. I tell her to take it easy sometimes, but she doesn't care.
