No vibration from my Sportlines.

 

I may go the coil-over route myself but first I'm going to try half inch spring
rubber and see what I get.It may not help at all but we'll see.

 

Are you guys sure its not your Ingalls? If adjusted tightly, this will cause vibrations (sometimes harsh) to come through in the lower RPMs... and then to fade as you get to higher speeds/rpms. I have noticed this, because I got sportlines first, then Ingalls...and AFTER tightening my Ingalls, (I have mine as tight as manual says you can [safely] go) I started getting lots of vibs...

Could have it all wrong though, just my 2cents!

 

Seems that i got use to it or it has gotten better but i dont really notice it any more.

 

I do't have an ETD but I have the vibe after installing my springs.It's not raelly a vibration
more of a...............feels like a wheel is bent?

 

Yeah I dont have the ingalls either. I have just gotten used to it because its not that bad just a little buzz feel. I am filling the motor mounts this weekend so I figure I am going to get more vibrations.

 

Oh yes you bet yer **** you will haha. But seriously, my sportlines dont give me vibes... however they do give a much harsher ride. FEEL those bumps lol. But hey thats the price to pay for good looks and handling.

 

i have vibes with my sportlines.

1st and 2nd gear, light throttle it vibes

 

H&Rs are notoriously known for this. Mine do it as well as bind when turning the wheel while stopped.

 

I just dropped my car off at the dealer, the vibration was getting really bad in second gear. Will see what they say.

 

what did the stealership tell ya???

 

after hearing about everyones problems with lowering their car, I now have second thoughts. I want to get the sportlines, but is there a big chance of this kind of problem happening with most cobalts?

 

i installed mine last sunday and i love em.

 

just putting lowering springs not a coilover kit, would it damage anything in the whole suspension setup?

 

No. Or at least not for a long time. (Tens of thousands of miles)

 

*****Update*****
The dealership was totally cool with the lowering springs. It was my passenger side axle going bad. Got the car back yesterday and now it rides a lot better. No shaking at all, the service writer is going to replace the driver side axle as a precaution. My thumbs up to Chevy for the great service.

 

I sprayed my dead coils with some silicone and it helped a lot with that.

 

my ssc springs cause some vibrations sometimes when im turning.. dont know what it is though.

 

its all in the CV joints and the steady bearing on the passenger side. the older your CVs are when you lower the car you will feel vibration, the axles sits at a different angle so that is why some people dont (probably lower milage cars) i had a completely gone steady bearing and they replaced the shaft but forgot to put the retainer back on my steady bearing.

so im waiting on wednesday to get that fixed i will let you know if that fixed it.


the thing that made me believe its the angle of the cv joints is because we where 5 people in the car and the vibration was alot worst.
