Default 1991 Honda civic vibration problems

yes I have a 1991 Honda civic with a b16a in it with hasport motor mounts. and skunk2 shocks in it with coil overs. and 15 inch drag rims. I can not find out what the problem is. And it has new axles and wheel bearings and rack and pinon in it. And all new lower control arms in the back and upper on the front. And would the coil overs make it vibrate if the where put them on wrong. And it vibrates at 10 to about 65.

- aligenment
- tire balancing
- check front end suspension
If your axles are shot, this can cause it too.

step one fix your coilovers....

where is the vibration coming from? front or rear? did you replace your Rear trailing arm bushings? make sure everythings tight. make sure the racks adjusted properly, and make sure your removed that rubber dust ring around the axle where it slides into the hub.

The vibration is coming from the front passenger side of the car. And I replace the bushings in the rear trailing arm bushings with skunk2. I thank when I got my wheel bearings done at pep boys the for got to give my the dust cover back after they put the new wheel bearings in.
