coil overs fitted now i have the shake's, help!

[ady365d]

Got me hottuning coilies on today and slammed it as much as i dare at the mo , looks swwwweeeet! 
only thing is driving it home from me mate's garage the front end seems to shake or shudder can feel it through the steering wheel like something is loose or rubbing ? it only does it whilst accelerating take your foot off the gas and it goes away ! even just tickling the throttle i can feel it at any rev ?? it's a strange one , all the nuts and bolts were done up to the correct torque according to haynes , it feels like the wheel's are loose  !! could it be tracking or camber issues? never come accross anything like this before and iv lowered loads a cars!

ideas please gentlemen!

Defo will be the tracking mate, take it for a full set up asap camber, toe, alignment!

Will be as good as new, mine went really bad after droppin it on its arse on coillies

cheer's mate im gonna take every one advise change top mounts and get a full allignment done , hopefully should cure it?? 

[boneybradley]

If your top mounts (or the bearings) are gone that wont help..... and then get the camber & tracking done, Like mine will be next week but mines way out as i replaced a load of bushes too

[ady365d]

yer i will do , its just i think it is something more serious aswell it feels like the wheels are gonna fall off wen ever you acellerate !! its really quite bad and scary !

still gonna take all the advise and eliminate every thing one by one ?

[boneybradley]

keep up posted with the rusults....

a quick update (ish!) the top mounts are ordered went for vr6 ones from dealers , been round local garages to get trackin/camber done and they saying that the cant do it as its loo low ! and 1 said that they wont do it and even if they did i wouldn't be right??? 1 garage said that theres a performance place in the next town with a machine that may be able to do it but its about £150 ?? sounds a bit steep!!!!

any body got any ideas? beginning to think i may have to raise it up on the front    not that i want to !

any body on here from around suffolk/essex know of any were i could get this done?

I enquired at braiswick tyres in colchester mate about tracking/camber when i was in there last and they said that as long as the laser can get under the car its not a problem. If you take the front splitter off, how much gap is there then? might be worth a try i suppose?

 

[RiCHiE360]

As said take the splitter off and they wont have a problem with it because its gonna give u a couple more inches to play with.

Got mine done with everything adjusted for £85 and mines pretty low

[ady365d]

yet taking the splitter off is no problem , all the places i went to today said the reason they cant do it is becuase  they cant get the lazers to clamp on top of the wheel as theres no clearence between wheel and arch ? i take it that the computerised way of doing it doesnt need the the lazers attached to the wheels ? and the only clearence issue is driving it onto the machine right? i cant find anywere near me that does this kind of testing  any one know of any national garage chains that do it?

im not to far from colchester so may have to check out the place mentioned above!

hope this works , im on my mobile at work!
