someone with an old post about wobbling at WOT with coilover

[jomin1016]

I remember a while back someone had a post about after he installed his coilovers or lowering springs (not sure which one it was) but he/she had a wobble while accelerating at WOT....I have installed obx coilovers on my car (still stock struts) and have a wobble too :duh: ..... <span style='color:red'>is it mere coincedence </span>......

I posted it. It is because of equal lenght drive shaft problems we have one short shaft and one long shaft when you lowered your car you changed the angles at which the long shaft hits the wheel. as you get closer to factory ride hight it will go away. There insn't much you can do about it ether. It was pretty bad when I was pretty low with coilovers but its livable now that I've got progress springs on instead.

Cheers,
Wes

:? so how come we're the only one's that have noticed this then? -

[burthold]

There were others that noticed it too. Most people just live with it or you can spend mucho bucks and have your driveshafts reballanced. Some cars are worse than others. I4's don't have the problem at all only V6 people.

so is there anything I can do because I saw another post saying to replace control arms and sway bar brushing. will this damage my car in the long run? if so I might but everything back to stock :oops: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Gladiator]

any answers to this yet? I just want to know if it would cause any damage in the long run, guess I have to live with the wobbling.

I4

my JDM 8g galant also got same problem. I thought it was my 19" rims were bent or something, because when I put back my standard 15" rims and increase the height or my car the wobbles goes away. Now I know it's not the rims.

how bad is this "wobble" on the I4? I mean is it noticeable or do you have to be driving to notice it?
