I have a 94 LS and i just did H&R sport springs and KYB GR2 Shocks and struts and 2 weeks after instal i noticed a shake coming from the passenger front wheel i checked the basics lug nuts, tire balance, ball joints tie rod ends wheel bearing and all checked out fine both axles were replaced about 4 months ago with new honda ones then i noticed the inner wheel well had rub holes and the other side didn't so my question is did my 2 week old strut blow out already??? i realize now the GR2's were a bad choice but im looking for any sugestions on what my problem might be PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks, Matt B

any ideas???

 

Quit bumping your ****. Someone will get to you when they feel like it. Just messin with you. OK have you had an alignment done since you've replaced these parts? Your toe and alignment is most definately the issue if you haven't. If you have check your tires; could one of them be low on air pressure? You could have a bubble in one of the tires as well.

 

no alignment but tires and tire preasure are fine if it was alignment wouldnt it have done it from the start??? not 2 weeks later plus im not talkin about a little shake barely noticible this mother is a bad vibration

 

Not necessarily. Is their any evidence of tire wear?

 

not so much

 

Whenver the suspension is modified on a car it is necessary to get your alignment checked. I have aligned my car 3 times in the past year because I have changed to height, the struts bought a camber kit. . Every time I changed a part I noticed a vibration of some sort on the freeway. At what speed is the vibration occuring?

 

its at all speeds but its very inconsistant plus would the alignment make the tire rub the inner wheel well

 

Look at your tires then. Does it get worse at higher speeds?

 

thats the thing it does and doesnt like i said it is very inconsistant sometimes its fine most of the time its terrible unless i put it to the floor and redline every gear then i only notice it once i hit 4th but normal shifting its there from 1st to 5th plus the car seems to be tracking fine i know i should get an alignment but the week after i put in the suspension a close familly member passed away and ive been a little side tracked at this point i dont want to wast the money to have to do it again later

 

make sure your lugnuts are tight

 

that was the first thing i checked

and the First thing he obviously didn't read


What did you mean by not getting an alignment yet,
and then not wanting to do it if you have to again?

 

^^^ true... ... i meant that i dont want to get it aligned if i have to pull it all apart to change something i think it might be the strut so that means another alignment i will prob upgrade to AGX's or Illuminas
