Leveling kit shakes
Hey all I put in a leveling kit on the weekend (finished last night) and today on my way to work the front end wobbled( steering wheel shook like I had a wheel balance problem) when I got to 90 km (55) if I went faster it seemed to get worse but it was fine at 89 km. The only thing that I disturbed was the shocks lower bolts and the sway bar ends. I put them back on and they are tight. It was fine befor I did the leveling. I put in 1.75 spacers in, and I still have a bit of rake to it but it looks better. I removed the factory spacer that was installed then installed mine. I'm gonna check my wheel nuts after work but where do I look next if those are tight?
Thanks

It might be a wheel balance issue but its a bit of a longshot but definitely worth checking out. I have the exact same setup as you do with no problems. Is the spring seated properly on the spacer?? The new spacers dont' have the groove in them for the spring to sit in like the OEM ones do. Don't know man, I'm stretching here.
a speed related wobble in your steering wheel like you have described is almost always a tire balancing problem. perhaps you accidentally kicked off a weight when you removed your wheels for this install. either way, as improbable as it may seem, that's where i might start.
well after playing around changing tires around on the jeep going for a test drive I found that I had 1 out of balance on the frount. went down to the dealer and they re-balanced it for me and now its kind of accecptable, maybe the next set of days off I'll try and re-balance them again to get rid of it compleatly. But by that time it will be almost time for a rotation. Thanks for the advice guys.
