Static low issues

[martymim]

Hi all,

Thought I’d hit the group to see if anyone has any suggestions. I’m static on H&R Deep 160mm coilovers. When turning right (RHD) I get a vibration through the car that is the driver side drive shaft binding, turning left no issue and going straight you can feel a vibration on dips in the road.

I tucked the wiring loom on the car and when I installed the Revo solid engine mounts the issue started. I suspect on the OEM mounts there was enough give to push the engine out of the way when the shaft come under stress, now they are solid the force has transferred back to the shaft as it has nowhere to go.

Problem goes away when the front is raised 15mm

My next though is looking at adjustable ball joints to pull the bottom of the hubs out to relieve stress.

I’ll list my mods below.

Edition 35 GTI DSG
Driver and passenger shorter driveshafts
H&R Deep 160mm coilovers, camber topmounts (full negative)
Eibach ARB’s
Revo Solid engine mounts (no dog bone)
Uprated dogbone insert
Chasis notch
Wide wings
20” OZ
390mm 6pot brembo
Rear camber arms

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

I don't want to be a dick about it, but you already have your answer.

You could also try Raxles or another high performance CV axle. Personally, I would just raise it. I'm only on Eibach springs and it's too low from some streets.
