m3 tension struts - minor problem (?)
recently installed m3 tension struts.
one little problem....when I cut the wheels when the car is at a stop or slowly turning from a stop, I get this small vibration through the steering wheel. any thoughts? anyone else had this? It doesn't seem serious, just noticeable to me. |

Wondering... does suspension need to be loaded for torque of ball joint fastners? Fully loaded suspension for the bushing bolts but not ball joints. Car was on the ground, wheels on, with about 200 lbs of weight loaded in the front seats. |

On pavement? You have my total respect if ya torqued your suspension there. I torqued all o'mine at normal ride height. Did you do an alignment after install? Should. Toe, camber; thrust angle. If out, and it prob is, can cause your issue. |

eventually getting an alignment, for now I used your string + jack stand process to set the toe back until then. Not sure if alignment would cause the issue turning the steering wheel when car is at rest. My problem doesn't occur at speeds greater than 5mph (if that). |

As "Calwaterboy" suggest it, have your alignment checked as well. |
