ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Control Arms

    So i am going the buy the camber and caster (lower and fixed control arms) but i also have this problem that when im driving at a high mph like 90 or 100 i can feel the front wheels kinda shaky...

    I already got my alignment and apparently that wasnt it

    will the control arms fix this problem and keep everything stabalized so that it can run smoothly?

    For the front end feeling "loose", An alignment will help but will not solve all the problems. First step would be to start replacing ball joints and bushings if they are worn. Shocks and springs are next.

      I got my lower balls joints changed as well, and my tie rods, i believe it might even b the bushings then cause i dont no if they were changed

        One more thing I forgot. Get your wheels balanced properly. That normally accounts for high speed vibrations. Sometimes you have a slight bend in the rim and wont know it.

            But, for shits and giggles, it could be:
            Bad bearing
            Bad axle
            Loose studs
            May have a flat spot on one of your tires
            maybe bent wheel(s)
            Bad ball joints
            Bad rotors
            Worn CV joint
            Uneven tire pressure
            Bad Tie rods
            and the list goes on and on.

            If you take it to a shop, they can check all the components, and suggest what could be wrong based on the inspection.

              And DrSzSoLDIeR, feel free to say something rude to me. I'll be sure to pass it on to your family to put it as your epitaph.
              .........thanks

                it depends on what kind ofbalancing machine the shop has but at school we can measure rim runout and one of my rims are kinda bad and no matter how well i balance it...it will still shake a bit.

                tried rotating the wheels to the back and see if that will help?

                  Cleaned your thread up for you DrSzSoLDIeR

                  Have you gone through this yet - http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=119467

                  Main issues I could see - Wheel balance (even 1 gram out can be very apparent at 100mph) Wheel bearings, axles, suspension joints.

                  A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

                  If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.
