Suspension Is your ride slammed to the ground? Did you lift it so high you need a ladder to get in?

Default Front End Shaking

After I lowered my car, I noticed a slight shake when I accel around 25mph. I spoke with a Mitsu tech and he said that the axles on both sides are sitting at too much of an incline now and are not spinning correctly. He told me to get some 'offset' parts but I can't remember the names. Basically what they do is level out the axles so they spin like they are supposed to. Can anyone tell me what I need to get? I already have a front and rear camber kit installed, but it has nothing to do with camber, I just want my axles to be straight again.

Never heard of that before. I've a a few friends lower their cars almost completely to the ground and they never had problems with shaking during acceleration.

I would check your tires. One of them may be out of balance. I had a bad shake in my car too, and took it to the tire place to get it rebalanced. Turns out they balanced it wrong and I had to go to another place, and they got it right. I say either a bad tire or bad balance...remember if it's in your seat in the rear, if its in your hands, its the front.

I agree, have your tires balanced and make sure you don't have a bent rim.

you could also check wheel alignment cause the wheels can be pointing in and creating the shake. because they recommend a wheel alignment with a drop in suspension.
