Default Shacky rearend!?!

i've noticed that on MY02 when i accelerate i feel the rearend kinda shacking! Its not really a hard shacky, although it is definaletly noticeble. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem...or has had this problem...if so what did you do to fix it! My car is lowered on teins and has 17 volks with 2,000 miles on new tires!! car has 17,000 miles!

thanks

Jay

That may be your problem.



Either bad alignment or incorrect tire pressures.

Teins

I thought maybe you didn't have it aligned after installing the teins. What kind of condition are your tires in? If you have not had your car aligned for awhile, I would suspect your car is jumping around due to it not tracking properly, which, in turn is caused by mis-alignment.

- Wheels and tires balanced properly when you got the new tires? Does it look like some of wheel weights fell off?
- Just a bad tire, but you should of noticed that immediately
- bad cv joint
- Any of your lug nuts coming loose? I almost had that happen to me once.

i thing the cv joints should be in good condition due to the fact that i only has 17xxxx miles + i dont really get too crazy with the car.. (i also inspected them myself (look good to me on the outsides) so does the rear end get aligned aswell as the front?!?!...cause my car has not being aligned since the new wheels!!


thanks

Was it aligned after the spring installation?
