I just bought an XR6 Turbo FG ute I have a vibration in the steering wheel gear shift and foot pedals. The car has been lowered with lowering blocks. Please if someone can help would be much appreciated thank you. Edited 14/01/18 07:37 AM by Alex dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be too hard to remove the blocks and see if it fixes the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I took it to my jax tyres and they put new leaf springs in but it was too high so I put in a lowering blocks in less vibration now but still there .

I've got a mechanic looking at it now in Narellan I've told him what you've said , hopefully he can figure it out better than me. Now that's the third mechanic I've taken it too.

I told them mechanic to pull the lowering blocks out an get the leaf springs reset. Or should I just buy new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I later bought a set of kings because of a tail shaft issue but ended up not being related so kinda a waste of money haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
