Default Possible AWD Vibration Solution..

Ok so those of you out there with lowered AWD ISx50's heres a possible solution for you. Today when I was working on my AFS sensor trying to adjust it so that dumb light would go off, I got the idea to put new hose clamps on my axle boots. I did this just to prevent leaking boots down the road from it being lowered and all, but so far, it hasn't had the vibration you get once you come to a stop. I've got my fingers crossed, but it seems to be vibration free. If any of you have tried this, I would be very interested in hearing your results.

P.S. I accept no responsibility for damage done to your cars, proceed at your own risk.

I highly doubt that will fix the issue. The vibration is due to the front axles being stretched and the only way to fix it is to raise the car back up unfortunately.
