installed a set of df210s about 3 weeks ago, and noticed the difference immediately on comfort compared to my s techs. my ride is way more bouncy, but i knew that since i think they are softer then OEM, problem is, that my steering wheel shakes madly after 35 MPH. i stripped the strut bolt on the driver side, so i found a replacement on my local hardware store, and i have been meaning to order an oem replacement from a dealer. i dont think that has anything to do with my steering wheel though, and when i was swapping my springs, i also noticed my shocks are worn out. could that also lead to my steering wheel shaking? anyway, idk whats going on. /:

 

Alignment?

 

my alignment has been off for the last couple of months, lol but my steering wheel has never shaken. it shakes madly after 35 MPH which isnt even fast.

 

Uh alignment?

 

definitely alignment, any time you are changing the geometry of the ride (height, camber etc..) an alignment is definitely need asap before anything else gets damaged

 

You are thinking alignment as it pulls to the right or left.

When you lower your car everything changes - camber, toe, etc. That's what everyone means by alignment.

Go get an alignment done.

 

^+1 and make sure its a 4 wheel alignment

 

yea figured it was my alignment, was curious though if it was anything bigger, quick question. when i get an alignment, will they fix my neg camber and do they have to? never gotten an alignment before hence the question. reason i am asking, if they fix my neg camber, i am going to rub -_____-.

 

typically they will try to get you within specs... but if you desire, you can tell them what camber settings you want to keep everything at.

 

Obviously you can go ahead an explain it to them and have them put a certain camber setting on there. The key is to make sure both sides on the car are as close as possible, and to make sure your toe is in spec (if your toe is off you will EAT tires).

If you dropped your car more than an inch anyway you would need a camber kit for them to put you back within factory spec.

 

Yeah follow every ones advice. Get an alignment. And pay special attention to your Toe angle. It will absolutely destroy your tires. Think of the tire being dragged across the pavement rather than rolling over it. It looks like you have some pricey tires so just have it done right. You are paying the alignment shop to do what you want, so if you still want some camber let them know. They will align everything else though. Good luck!

thanks everyone for the awesome advice^^. will get an alignment asap

 

^ if you don't already have a shop, I recommend henry at temple city auto. He takes his time, does great work, and is reasonably priced.

 

Yep its alignment, you can request your own camber setup if you'd like, but make sure you at least get the toe to 0

 

if ur alignment is already messed up before the springs install wouldnt u expect it to be worst after the install?
