I recently put new Tokico Illuminas/Progress 2" lowering springs and 17" Motegi DP6s/Falken Zeix 512s all the way around on my 1997 Honda Civic HB DX (H22A Swap).

Now I am having a slight problem I'm having trouble figuring out. I put the suspension on myself and made sure everything was tight and not damaged. The Wheels are freshly balanced and mounted.

Now to my problem. When I am driving straight it is very smooth, but when I turn left I get a slight wobble of the front right wheel (or at least that's what it feels like). Note: When i turn right i have no wobble. Also, when I hit a bump on the front right wheel it sometimes gets the same wobble feel.

I have found a few topics that the person had similar problems but not exactly this one.

So my Question is what would usually cause this? How to remedy it?

BTW: This is my first post here. Been readin H-T for quite a while and finally decided to join this great community.

did you get an alignment after installing the shocks and springs?

 

I have yet to get it aligned due to what I've read about maybe having to replace/repair a few things that would require another alignment..

Trying to rule out those things that might cause this before i get it aligned.

Could the alignment being off cause only one side to wobble/shake?

Should I go ahead and get it aligned so to better diagnose/fix this?

Thanks for the reply!

 

i would get an alignment asap.

also check the lugnuts. take them off and do it again to be sure.

after checking all that, because of your h22 swap, then its probably your axle or mounts causing the axle to go bad or not like the new lowered position.

 

Well thanks for the input!

I'll get right on that alignment and post on how it is after...

Hopefully the alignment will fix the issue, if not i'll be back with more Q's hehe.

Thanks again!
