Coilover problems? need help
I'm hoping this is an easy fix.
I recently just put some coilovers on my car. I'm up in Auburn right now, drove from Portland to here last night. i noticed as I was driving up the hill to my girls place that my right front tire felt like it was loose. It vibrates like crazy every time I hit a bump or go around a corner. but i know its not my tire
I only have a couple tools with me in my car and I'm about 150 miles away from home.
Any suggestions. For the moment im gonna go pop my car up and see if i can see whats up.
Either shoot a reply here or give me at 360.936.5450

iirc i think most of the bolts that would need to be retightened up front are 19mm which is the same as the jack wrench. so you should be able to tighten it with that.

UPDATE:
I started checking all the bolts and nuts and whatnots and came across the top two nuts between the camber adjustment and the tighten/soften knob (please forgive my automotive language). The bottom nut of the passenger side happened to be loose...not even finger tight. So I tightened it and went for a drive up lea hill road (short lil windy hill). TADA! No more noise, vibration, any of that bad stuff. When i got back i decided to tighten the upper nuts as well...popped off the tighten/soften knob on my bran new Pedder XAs. . .so its sitting in my cup holder
All-in-all, everything works, even the knob if i put it back in place...i just take it out and put it in my cup holder so it wont bounce out or something like that.
