front end shutter

so after installing ssc springs i have a side to side shutter at low speed and goes away at high speed
searched and it seems to be a common problem from axle binding, and the tabs are facing in
is their any solution?

I have that same low speed acceleration (1000-2000rpm or so) front end shudder/shimmy with my Sportlines. It is very annoying. Hopefully it goes away whenever I get around to trying out the Eibach Pro-Kit instead.

I asked the GM tech at the dealership WTF some do it and others don't, and he said basically b/c no two cars are identical spec wise or something, and it is the new angle of the CV joints causing it. That was about the best answer that could be given apparently. We both went out for a test drive a few times so I could prove what was happening. I used a bottle of water as a visual, as it would shake every time.

Did the vibration occur only you accelerated? Or was it all the time? Also how would transmission mounts fix the problem? Whats the explaination behind it?
