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!

Could be the driver side axle.

, yeah do both axles with that kind of power being produced. You'll go through them. check mounts as well. Hey man, good stuff on getting married. My wife and I are three years and havent looked back. Marriage kicks ***, its the kid thing on my mind now

Did you get an alignment after lowering?

if it pulls to the right, it's the left axle
if it pulls to the left, it's the right axle

</TD></TR></TABLE> hm...vibration noise was coming from passenger side, but i'll get a new driver side anyways. so most likely it's axle? also it's not a normal pull like as if alignment is off, it's a hard pull like someone is forcing the steering wheel.

Once my car start to spool hard in a gear i get traction on, that's when it does it.

my car has been fairly low for quite some time now, my car shook pretty good whenever i took a left turn, i replaced both axles but that didnt change anything so i looked at both wheel bearings and the right one was shot, fixed it and it handled fine.
so take a look at the left wheel bearing if your out of options

look at your tie rod ends, the ball joints, and your wheel bearing. Get a helms or a FSM and it will tell you how to check for all of that stuff.
