I have just recently lowered my 95 celica, i slammed her pretty low and began to have axle binding when i accelerate. I raised it up a bit today and at first i thought it help a little but i am not sure. I can't afford to blow axles every week so i was wondering if anybody has gone through this and found an alternative solution rather then just raising it back up. (after all, that is why i got coilovers in the first place)
Thanks, Kevin |

The angle of the axles are off to much, there is a vibration on acceleration.

They were getting bound up and either broke or vibrated and wore them badly, so you had to replace the whole axles, like both of them? |

Seems to me that, if lowering caused the binding, then raising should have helped. Exactly what the limits are, I do not know. |
