Help Please OME struts
« on: August 17, 2003, 08:13:29 AM »
I installed the OME struts this weekend but after driving for about for about 50 miles the front wheels and hub assembly has so much slop in it that the tire shakes when driven
I have one in coil spacers on my 4door and need any suggestions
School starts tomarow and it looks like I might be riding my bike  :'(

Re torque all the bolts, check the top bolt where
the strut bolts to the tower, other that that, if it
is a problem with the OME struts, take them off
for replacement, put back on the old struts.

other than that ???

 Your wheel bearings being loose and Installing front struts has to be completely unrelated unless you install struts very different than I do! Even loose wheelbearings should not cause a shake. Are you sure you tightened the wheel?

Did you do anything to correct the camber?  When I put the coil spacers on mine, it through off the camber something serious.  I had to modify the struts to allow it to be adjusted back to specs.
