Yeah, i will stop the mods for the moment and focus on fixing the wheel issue. AK helped to change the wishbone already and the vibration reduced but still have it at high speed. I suppose he has helped to inspect the "steering rack" which capt told me.

I don know, I am sure that I want to fix it but don know how to start and where to go to start. Go AK? or go balance again? or go to do a computer alignment config....?
balance again it is the cheapest to do 1st

Is the steering wheel virates when doing higher speed? Or you mean the whole car is slightly shaking?

Ricky, I need you helping to test the car's steering wheel vibration. Sometimes I am not very sure this is normal after changing to 19" rim. It is quite consistent to appear when moving higher than 100km, so should be easy to reproduce. When will u be free?

I have spacers for my 19" and are fine. no shaking at any speed but the spacer are made in US not HK
if they are made in HK they there is a big chance that they are not that good. :thumbsdown:
Ask mark he knows, he had the HK made 1s

Alan if you have HK spacer I would take them off and get some better 1s like H&R like mark
