Had a bit of a vibration ever scine I got my 6 lowered. Was fine before but no matter what i do i cant get rid of it. Only seems to be at low speed with heavy throttle, mainly planting it in second doing about 25-30. only lasts for a second but is really annoying. so far i changed exhaust and mounts, all engine mounts and had both front wheels balanced and tracked. anything ive missed?

Is it just vibration and not knocking?
Sure it's nother the exhaust buzzing against the tube?

How low is it?

Could be a CV joint on way out,and its showing now due to the different angle of driveshaft due to loweringWink

i had this problem when i lowered my previous 306, i had spare driveshafts kicking about, changed

the O/S shaft because the the centre bearing was dry and the CV clicked every now n then on

full lock, the vibration under hard acceleration/low speed disappeared.

As coskev said, once you've lowered the ride height, the CV'S are at a far greater angle, hence the vibration

If you find the solution for this, please let me know! I have exactly the same problem, it also came after lowering mine (I think) Sad

And I even have brand new driveshafts installed!
