DUMB W1TH 1T

So it all started back when I first put on my BC coilovers ... After the installation it was late and we forgot to tighten down the lugs on the passenger front tire ... And i drove out my friends long ass dirt driveway ... When i got to the end of the dirt road i noticed it was wobbling so i turned back and left my car there for the night ... The next morning we saw that it was the lugs so we tightened them ... Ever since then when I get to 50 mph my car wobbles ... Someone said it might be the axle ... Does anyone have a definite answer for me I need to have it fixed ASAP ... I'm air force and I'm leaving Cali for Japan in September I need help

When I lowered my Tl at 1.7inches no vibration...I lowered it more to about 2 1/2 inches and around that speed there is a vibration...its the stress being put on the axles etc...

I prolly lowered my car 2 1/2 too but don't u think the axle that I was talking about is bent?!

Put the front wheels on the back to see if the loose lug nuts caused any damage to the wheel and therefore slightly of center.

I have stretched tires so I can't take the rears and put them in the front but I can tell u that I took it to get aligned and it is good as far as that goes ... I'm thinking about going back stock then trying to narrow down what it could be ... Cuz its driving me crazy!!!

like turbonut said, it might have gotten bent.

since you cant deduce by reasoning, try getting the wheels balanced.

DUMB W1TH 1T

But it was doin the same crap when I had my stock wheels on ... so is balancing still an issue?

^we cant tell, since the vehicle isnt infront of us.

you need to do some trouble shooting, and deduce by reasoning.

put your stock wheels back on. see if the problems are there.
etc.

take a look at the axles. are they leaking at the boot!?
etc.

I totally understand

^i remember reading a thread where they had wobbles. changed the axles and it went away.

DUMB W1TH 1T

Does anyone have a connect that can hook me up with some axles? Or just know a website with great prices?

^make sure you go OEM.
if you buy from autozone, they will give you the wrong part

Do you know where I can find it on oemacuraparts.com?

Definitely go with OEM.. don't go aftermarket. I heard of bad stories of people who went with aftermarket.

raxles.com raxles.com raxles.com

swap out your axles for brand new OEM ones or go the raxles route (as ive head geat things but cant verify myself). just dont but any gsp axles from the aftermarket vendors (i.e. autozone, oreily's) cuz once you lower the vehicle from stock height you will get driveline vibration....this should fix your issue!

DUMB W1TH 1T

Why is it that when I go to oemacuraparts.com I can't find axles for my car when I type axles in the search box?

I think part numbers are 44305-SDB-A00 and 44306-SDB-A00 but could be wrong...someone verify that.

^ do I want to replace just the right one? Or could the right have messed up the left side?

TL's are known to have vibration issues when you lower the car! Why dont you raise the car up drive it around if the vibration is minimal or gone then you know that lowering the car is stressing out the axles then causing the vibration. Then replace the Axles! Sometimes thats just the cost of lowering your car. My car is pretty low and over time you just get used to it.

^ I raised it up some and it might have worsened but i don't think it will get better because of my lugs mishap
