Slight Shake???

Hey guys,


As you may know I just got my car lowered with h-techs a few days ago. It looked great and everything was fine but, today I noticed a slight shake coming from the drivers side front. It's not as noticeable at slow speeds but, when I get around 60-70 mpg, It becomes noticeable and king of annoying. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be?

I haven't got the car aligned yet but I don't see how that would cause a shake. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

might of whacked a wheel....

when you use stiffer springs it makes things harder on the rims....less suspension travel, so its easier to bend a wheel...

Did you put spacers on the front?

There is no way. I've been extremely careful and I know i havn't been in any situations where there was force put on the wheel to bend it.

Hmm weird then. Maybe real hard braking at some point and warped the rotor?

I have the same problem. I thought it was my rims so I got them re-balanced and checked to see if I had the proper hubcentric rings. Everything checked out so I just lived with it. It really didn't start happening for me until I put the sport BBK on. Maybe it has to do with the rotors/brakes?? I've just been living with it cause it isnt too bad. It happens right at the same mph as you though.
