Default Cursed with rare problems

Last night i did a third gear pull and the car started to vibrate crazy from passenger side along with pulling to the right hard as hell. Cousin had the same problem due to axle, so i changed the pass. side axle. Still pulls hard to the right and vibrates crazy like as if something is loose. It all started to happen eversince i lowered my car. Keep in mind this is a 430hp motor. What the hell is going on? I'll raise the car back up tomarrow see if it still does it. keep me posted with ideas please!

when you lowered the car did you make sure everything was tight and that you put everything on right?

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by mike1114 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">alignment?</TD></TR></TABLE> how will a alignment cause it? it feels like as if something is coming out and popping out then when i slow down it wobbles back in to place. It takes like 5-10 seconds to wobble back in place.

Check if the boot on the ball joints are ripped.

A alignment would definately help. Do not rule it out. I had the same exact problem after lowering my car. I had a high horsepower turbo EG. So again, dont rule that out.
