Had a bit of a vibration ever scine I got my 6 lowered. Was fine before but no matter what i do i cant get rid of it. Only seems to be at low speed with heavy throttle, mainly planting it in second doing about 25-30. only lasts for a second but is really annoying. so far i changed exhaust and mounts, all engine mounts and had both front wheels balanced and tracked. anything ive missed?________________________________________ www.eastcoastmodified.orgE46 318i tourer SE - Dog Car/Work horse 306 Gti - Track Project |

Is it just vibration and not knocking?Sure it's nother the exhaust buzzing against the tube? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

what about if you hit the brakes hard when going down hill mine did it like that and as you say it was rear shock/bushes! ________________________________________ TEAM ASTOR GTi 6SNAP-ON SUBARU SOON NOT TO BE TEAM DIABLO MEREDIAN (for sale) |

How low is it?Could be a CV joint on way out,and its showing now due to the different angle of driveshaft due to lowering ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

As coskev said, once you've lowered the ride height, the CV'S are at a far greater angle, hence the vibration |

If you find the solution for this, please let me know! I have exactly the same problem, it also came after lowering mine (I think) And I even have brand new driveshafts installed! |
