steering wheel wobble on accel after lowering
I have a 96 Accord EX with H22/5sp. The car has never had any issues, and drove fine until I lowered it. I'm running Eipach sportlines with AGXs, on 205/40/17 and 17x7 wheels. Once it was lowered, in the high rpms, it has a steering wheel shake. Its not terrible, but annoying. I have new hubs on both front wheels, new rotors, etc. I am wondering if it may be that the axles are too short? Is there a specific axle to use, or length to have for the H22 swap? The car was swapped when I bought it, so I'm not sure what the axles are from. Any insight to this annoying problem would be great!
Tires are new, and balanced
Alignment is set correctly
My friend did say that the tie rod ends were worn, could that be it?
Thanks guys!

On the Accord H22 swap, you can use either the Accord axles or the Prelude (slightly longer) with some modifications.
If your weebling issue is limited to accelleration, I've seen it from either a bent axle, a binding outer CV Joint or a broken tire belt.
The easiest way to determine any of this is to put the car up on a single or dual post lift (with the wheels hanging). Start the engine and put it in gear.
With the assemblies rotating you can spot if the axle has any runout (wobbles as it rotates) and if the tires have screwed up. (the tread will momentarily shift to the side as the broken belt rotates past.
