Default Front end shaking when coasting, whats up?

I have a b16 swapped into my EK. Today I was out driving and I noticed when I let off the gas while the car is in gear and let it just coast, the front end shakes back and forth. When I put it into neutral and coast, it stops shaking. I also realized that it does not shake when giving it any gas, only when it is in gear and coasting. I checked tire pressure, and they are all good.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

did you just swap it? if so make sure you fully tightened the axle nuts bc if there is any play then you will get vibrations ... otherwise it is most likely an axle or mount problem

Swap was done about a year ago, I was thinking it might be the axles, but I was out later in the day and it completely went away. Hmmm, time to tear down and check it out!

Thanks for the help guys, H-T Love!
