hey wsup guys, I recently installed Tanabe NF210 springs on my car and ever since I installed it, when I put my gears into "D" or R" the car vibrates, but when I put the gear into "P" or Neutral, the vibration on the door/seat is gone.

Also, when I accelerate or when I push on the gas pedal, the steering wheel shakes a bit. On the highway, when I'm accelerating hard, the car seems to vibrate in the steering wheel....I also did wheel alignment twice after I installed springs, what can be the problems to this issue? thanks!

 

if you installed the springs yourself, make sure you seated the springs properly as that is one of the most common mistakes. how long did you wait after your drop to get your alignment, did you at least wait 2 or so weeks?

 

I didn't install the springs myself, I took it to the shop and when i told the shop about the vibrations, he said it seems fine , But I know that it's not because I never had these vibrations in the car before and I waited a week to let the springs get settled and then aligned it.

 

im guessing your roads aren't very good and the increased spring rate makes your ride more harsh?

 

The car shouldnt vibrate to much.

I also have vibration, but its not to bad. Try and get them reseated, and get spring covers for them also.

Best advice i can offer.

 

If the problem is improperly seated/rotated springs, you can check your front springs by turning your wheels as sharply as possible to the right and looking behind the wheel at the spring. If the spring is not seated correctly in the lower perch it will be obvious. I had this problem a few weeks ago when I had my springs installed. Took it back to the install shop and they corrected the problem. If the problem is on the rear, then it's not so easy to see unless the wheel is taken off or you put the car up on a lift.

 

yeahs, thanks alot for the advices, I'll check it out..
