Installed Daizen Control Arm and STill have Vibration.
Hey guys,
I previously installed the Daizen Control Arm kit fr the 98 gs. I had issues at 55 mph for bad vibration, but after the installation he vibration at that particular mph is gone (which is good). I had it installed and allignment done, seemed fine at first but not around 70-75 thre is a small vibration. Not as bad as before the kit was installed. Wondering if anyone who installed the kit are still having issues with vibration. Thanks

Any idea on what could be causing this problem? The only thing i have not done is do a High speed balance on my wheels. Thats about all i can think of. I really hope that will solve the problem but I have a bad feeling that is not the only issue.

there is a slight vib around 70-75 on me to but very very slight.. i think altering the bushings has altered where the car reaches harmonics.. i def prefer it to be around 75 then 55-65 which is where we always tend to drive.. mine again is very very slight

My problem is exactly the same as your. Very slight vibrations at 70-75, which is a lot better than 55. But sometimes its a little bit more shaking depending on the weather I think. I just wish the problem would just be perfectly fixed, but then again nothing is perfect. Do you think its my wheels that need to be balanced still? Are yours perfectly balanced and still shaking at 70-75?

No noise or clicking sound anymore after installation. I really hope its just the wheal.

I think its ur wheels/tires balancing. When i had my stock 17" wheels/tires on, my car would vibrate between 110-140KM/H . Now I have my winter 16" tires/wheels and no more vibrations at all. my car has almost 110,000 KM.

i just did some tests yesterday evening and this morning. i did various speed from 55mph, 60mph, 65mph, 70mph, and 75mph. i had no vibration at all (not even slight). i even let go of my steering wheel and looked at it and i didn't see it shake.
so hopefully it's just the wheels
