Please help weird vibration

Im experiencing a weird vibration in my steering wheel on excellaration. My first guess is CV shafts but im not sure. I just lowered my car last week and im not sure if that would have anything to do with it. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Weird. I just lowered my car this weekend too, along with a Progress rear sway bar and I thought I noticed some kind of slight vibration when going from about 20-30 mph or so. I thought it might just be my imagination, but now that you say the same thing, I wonder what it might be.

Ya, I used the Sportlines which is just 1/1.2 or so. But it is just at those lower speeds. Once I get above 30 or so I don't notice anythign.

ALL checked out good. Im actually a technician and the first thing i would replace on a customer vehicle would be the cv shafts,but for some reasone i thought it might have something to do with the drive angle from lowering it. I was just wondering if anyone else has experinced this on there balts. ive lowered Lots of cars and never had this happen.

Common occurance when lowering and correct CV angles are not maintained

I've personally checked my alingment on our brand new Hunter rack twice since I've lowered the car. Just had to tweek front toe slightly.

Too bad even the best alignment machines dont measure CV working angle or toe related "full travel" bump-steer before and after drop-spring replacement
