noise after drop

Basicly when I start from a stop sign I roll a few inches and then I feel shaking for a 1/2 second to a few seconds. It happens at slow and fast accelerations. The sound is the worse under heavy acceleration and is quieter under lighter acceleration.

The stearing wheel doesn't realy tug to the side and I can barely feel it in stearing wheel.

I think it might be related to weight transfer but not sure.

I have Tein SS on a hybrid sedan with stock 185/75/14s for now.. Is there any particualar way I should adjust my softness or firmness? I don't have a front camber kit but the camber is right around 1.0. There isn't much of a gap (I plan on raising it up to a 1 1/2 to 2 finger gap. Will that help? Should the back or front be higher than the other to help with the weight distribution if it is a weight transfer problem?

Any ideas?

well from the sounds of it, you are either...
a.) getting a vibe from bent wheel
b.) out-of-balance wheel
c.) improper torqued wheel...btw..it's 80 ft./lbs
or you have some other loose components.

i like your car btw!

A guy was in my car today and said it sounded to him like a clutch chattering. But I don't have a manual transmission. But thats what he said it sounded like.

Sorry, I don't know the difference. I'm just reporting what this guy said he thought it sounded like.

check your wheels man. mine was doing that and what happened is that my lugs backed them selfs off the studs. and the wheel was loose. lucky for me they cross threaded themselfs and got stuck.
