idylan123 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 so today i lowered my car. LOW i cut my springs.. yes i know bad idea. but anyway. after a little scraping and what not. on my drive home. i notice alot of shaking. not with my suspension tho. its when im shifting. when im going and i put in the clutch then put it into gear give it gas its fine. if im in gear and im not giving it gas it starts to shake and somewhat rattle? this only happens when im in gear and not giving it gas. i can be in gear put in the clutch then it will start shaking put it into neutral it stops. give it gas and it stops. at least i think. i cant really hear it because of my exhaust. also my car starts to shake when i get near or over 60 ish. keep in mind this happend after i cut my springs. but i didnt mess with anything else. if u have any idea, PLEASE HELP! thanks alot in advance! -dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 check your diff mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idylan123 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 what about them do i check? do i adjust them so the pinion angle is corrected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Check and make sure the bolts are tight, and check the condition of the diff mount itself. Might be torn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idylan123 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 if i get lowering springs and it raises it up a bit, do you think the problem would correct itself at least a little bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Pinion angles changes with ride height? Doubt that but halfshaft angle will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Diff mount is cheap and easy to fix. Do it the right way... now if you're mustache bar bushings are bad... then those are a little more PITA. But not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Understand totally...........Z cars aren't the only cars many of us use our brains on. It might be a tight halfshaft u-joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv82xl Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 same thing happend to me. check the drive shaft to diff bolts and diff cross member and the half shaft bolts! then get out the red loctite! after replacing the diff cross member and cabling it!

V8INtheZ Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Negative, dont use red loctite. Blue is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Check the diff mount bushings and hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
