could be many things...


1) tire pressure

2) nail in tire

3) alignment, you did get one after lowering , right?(you are suppose to)

here are a couple you can check first.

i don't see how tire pressure would cause vibration, maybe an unbalanced tire.

sounds like it is the CV joint being worn down.

Lowering without aligning afterward is asking for trouble.

I suspect there may be other problems though. Diffs don't just blow for no reason, and if the diff was bashed hard enough to break there is a good chance other parts were punished as well. Prolly has nada to do with the lowering, and more to do with something harsh that was done to the car. Diffs don't just blow for no reason.

LOL, and nobody knows that better than you.

If Comptech sees this foolishness I wonder if they'll start telling people they "need" the reinforcing straps when they lower the car.

After I lowered my car, it developed a clicking sound in the right rear, and then the right rear tire went flat. True story. Conclusion? Well, lowering the car makes the drivers side tire go flat.

In truth, I picked up a screw, it clicked, and the tire went flat when we pulled the screw out, but using the logic we see all the time here on S2kI, the flat tire was caused by the lowering. I hope these people understand procreation better than they do cars.
