Anyone who has any input, please feel free to chime in...
I had Tein CS coilovers installed last week and ever since they were put in, any time I'm under heavy load (i.e. WOT from about 3500rpm up) I can feel a vibration that seems to be coming from the passenger side rear wheel area. I don't have a clue what it is and I've checked for rubbing or loose bolts and whatnat. HELP!!!

Newbie question: What is WOT?

azrael

WOT = Wide Open Throttle, where the butterfly valve in the throttle is completely open, allowing maximum intake air flow.

May Be Tire Balance? Oh by the way besides the vibration, how is the ride comfort on the CS. Is it daily drivable?

BlackS2000Turbo

Hell yeah. I love them! I'm sure it's not the CSs but something collatteral from the install. The care handles like mad. Love them. Almost no ride quality compromise.

Its only on throttle? If you let off does it go away immediately? If so then its not a tire! Try doing some higher RPM 2nd gear turns see if its worse or the same. If its worse on one side and not another it very well might be a CV joint though its usually the drivers side that goes.

Agreed, it's not a tire. I checked tire balances and rims. All good. And yes it's ONLY under load. As soon as I get off the throttle it's gone. When I'm in a hard left turn it's worst. I think you may be on to something. CV joint sounds like a good place to start. Odd that it happened at the same time as the coilover install.

Likely a CV joint, but you should also check your wheel bearings.

Yeah more noticable on hard lefts... passenger side is for sure where the problem is. I just hope it's not going to tie the car up for more than a day. Do honda dealers stock the replacement parts??
