steering wheel and front end vibration after tein stech springs installed

I recently installed tein stech springs on my 2005 g35 sedan sport with 88k and now I have a crazy front end shaking along with my steering wheel shaking as well but it is not all the time but at freeway speeds and intermittently I checked the alignment and balance of the tires also checked my compression rod bushings and it don't look ripped or anything let me know if you guys have had this experience with lowering your g35

So, you checked your alignment and tire balance and what were the results? What were the specs and readouts?

I work at Costco tire center and I balanced all 4 tires to zero and checked for any separation

You have no camber kit or rear toe bolts tho.

Could be a lot of things at this point. How are your front lower control arm bushings? They are notorious for popping out, especially if you just lowered it after X amount of years of being in the same position.

Found out my right front strut which has less than 1000 miles is leaking fluid and may be the cause of the shaking because my friend a tech at Nissan said my compression rod bushings is ok and may need to be changed later but that will not cause a vibration more of a noise but here are some photos of my bushings and strut

I'm not so sure the blown strut would cause shaking...I would still continue to search

It was my blown strut I replaced it with my oem strut and now it rides like a dream when I pulled out the Kyb strut on my right fm front it basically didn't have any more fluid and when I push and pull on the shaft it was really jerky and now I know what was causing the shaking issue hope it helps someone out in the future and I know I may get some smart remarks about my explanation of the shaft and jerky lmao but that's the only way of explaining it
