5260, wobbly wobbly Posted by mrlocalpimp, Dec-23-01 05:29 PM
ack. i put on rims and coilovers about 3-4 weeks ago. I doubt its got anyting to do with this, just FYI. Also FYI, my car has always leaned to the right. But anyways, my car is REALLY leaning to the right. I dont think its related to its original small lean. This is big. And I hear a tire wobbling. Its on the right, but I took both off and putthem backVERY tightbut its still there. Also my brakes dont feel as strong and seem to climb up and down when I brake, if you know what I mean, when I brake. Somethins up.

alignment? Balance the rims/tires. Also, check the rotors for damage. Hope u get it fixed.

no, not vibrating. TO be honest, it feels like a brake on the right side, probablythe rear, has like locked up. so im always driving with a brake on. anyone had this happen? thats what it seems like. i wouldnt know how to check tho.

<I took both off and putthem backVERY tight>
That could be your problem right there. Wheels should only be torqued to 100-110 ft/lbs. If you're in the habit of really "cranking" down on them, you've warped your rotors. As far as the "lean" goes.... you got me. I'd definetly go get a 4-wheel alignment and would bet that your rotors are indeed warped. Pick up a torque wrench or borrow one from a freind when putting wheels back on and NEVER use an impact gun. Could be a good time to up-grade your rotors. I saw a guy selling some cd/s Brembos on dsmtrader for like $68 a piece that were direct replacements for stock....

haha no no even 100-110 is to high our cars want about 89ftlbs but as low as 72 is fine. if your hand torque'in get a torque wrench make sure it's the clickable kind.
