Ok, so i installed my strut tower brace in the parking lot after work. everything is tightened. and now all of a sudden my car is vibrating at 100mph. i havent gone over 75 in over a week so i dont know for sure that the STB caused the problem but what else could it be???? it wasnt doing this before

 

it's possible... I say to make sure uninstall it and find out

 

yea i wouldent want no viberatons of ne sort at over 100

 

When you installed the brace was the car on a level and flat surface? Also did you torque it to the specs using the same tightening pattern as you would lug nuts?

I am running the DC Sports STB and I have had no problems at all, I torqued it to spec on a level concrete slab to make sure that it wasn't putting load on a single strut. Be careful if you ever jack the car up with the brace btw, I'd remove it first..

what would happen if you jack it up with the brace?? thorow a strut off or somting??

 

there is only 2 bolts on each side..... and there are no instructions that come with the brace....... it was done on a level surface

 

thats weird? did you check your tires and all make sure they were inflated good. might just be that you feal more with these like you would a motormount

 

uninstall it, then jack the car up so there is no weight on the front wheels and then re-install and test for vibrations.

 

Ya know... I wonder if this is something else completely.. I saw an exact thread on thisbefore... Hmm I know I've seen this problem on here before but I can't seem to find it.. I don't think its the STB

 

anyone else have an insight on it? i think i will have access to a lift tomorrow. i will uninstall it and reinstall it tomorrow.

 

Man, I think theyre supposed to give off some vibrations, but I wouldn't know, I got mine after I had my motor mount and torque dampner installed.

Shimmy shimmy!

 

make sure that the wheels and tires are balanced fine as well.

 

took it off. jacked teh car up to change oil. put back on. fine now.
