My car was lowered too. But I used the Motorklasse spacer instead of J's due to the long wait from Bulletproof when I asked last time.
But I wasn't sure that was my problem. After I put the halfshaft spacer, then I took the car for alignment and balancing and the whole shake and vibration were gone.
Now, how did it go Rich?

I wish that was the solution but my car isn't lowered. If I ever drop my car the spacers will be the first things I install.

I have the 4.57 gears and during a recent fluid change david1 and I noticed some larger than normal pieces stuck to the drain magnet. Usually, the metal shavings form a fine metallic sludge, these were more like slivers. It may or may not be the problem. I know the 4.57's have a whine to them and I've never been in another 4.57 geared car so it may be normal, but my gears seem to whine very loudly. With the top up it hinders my ability to listen to the radio.



I should find out today if my vibration is gone.

Tim, I paid like 200 from AJ racing...and I installed them myself (about 1hr)


Motoo, I remember reading somewhere that they took care of this problem for the Ap2+ with longer axles.... but not 100% sure...

Rich, I hope you figure out whats going on....also make sure you have even tire pressure in the rear tires as well as even wear...this can also cause some serouis shaking!!

Denny, Ill see ya a H@@TERS 9AM!!!

It's not the tires or rims. My tires right now don't have 300 miles on them and I've had three sets of wheels on my car in the last year.
