Ok so i had my coil overs on for a little over a year and when i had them installed i had new tires and wheels put on car aligned and everything was great fast forward to my thermostat cracking and all that jazz. had AAA tow my car to the dealer once i got my car back i had a horrid steering shake. My mechanic though it was because i am substantially lowered however this was never an issue. I though it may be the tires as they were wearing funny due to the stiffness setting in the coil overs so two days ago i had new tires installed and the car realigned the shake is a lot less now however it still exist in certain speeds I'm completely lost as to what it could be at this point in time. My Mini "Vern" is a 2009 FJCW. Like i said this wasn't an issue before it got towed. when they strapped the car down could they have damaged a component in my suspension? or drive train? It is there at 40 gone at 50 and there at 60 and gone after that.

Thanks in advanced

 

Have the front tire balanced and see if that helps

 

was just rebalanced with the new tires. Thanks

 

Take it to a professional tire shop and tell them what it is doing. My Discount Tire guys have fixed all of my steering shakes in other vehicles so far and knew what the problem was after I explained what the vehicle was doing and when. That being said, if that does not fix the shake the tow truck could have broke a part off or knocked it loose or even knocked a wheel weight off.

 

I had a similar situation to this. Mine was only under WOT and was in every gear ( I'm at just under 300 hp.). It turned out to be the front axels.

my car is lowered and would shake violently when i drove it hard. I replaced tires, and a looked at suspension bits. Took a while but it was the axel none the less.

Should be 125 used from the scrap yard.

 

"was just rebalanced with the new tires."
It still could be a balance issue. There have been several times that I have had wheels rebalanced 2-3 times before it was right.

 

Not saying it isn't balancing they were rebalanced by two different places with the old tires. It definetly could be the new tires as the issue is less now then before.

 

if you haven had them balanced since the adventure with the tow truck and the new shake I would have them re done ...

 

If the tow truck driver strapped your car down or pulled your car by the axle shaft then that may have been tweaked. I'll bet between the lowering and the tow truck driver screwing up who knows what, you'll need at least one axle shaft, if not both.
