Good to hear back from you James. Can you feel the wobble when braking or when you are reaching a certain speed?

Ok James... May I ask if there's a computerized wheel alignment on that shop?

Ok James... I'm assuming that the parts you provided are installed properly. Did you notice if there's something unusual with the brake rotors? It may be warped a little which can cause it to wobble at certain speeds

Thank you for that additional information James. When you checked the parts you ordered... are they identical in every way? 

Ok... there was no shake not before you have it all replaced. If they are using a high speed wheel balancer I will assume that the replaced rim is in good condition even they got it from the yard. The installation may be proper or not. Assuming that the procedure done is proper, there can be some other parts that will require replacement because the car is lifted to it's normal stance and other bushings or components that has been squeezed for a long time will have a little space to play with when driving which can cause it to vibrate or wobble. Assuming that the procedure is done wrong is if they checked the bushings has no play. So they will need to find what's causing it James. They can check the wheel bearing, the bracket of rack and pinion, stabilizer bushings and engine supports if needed

You got my message James?

Is there anything else I can add or help you with James? I'll be standing by for your response. Thank you and have a good one!

No worries James

I'll be standing by for your response. Thank you

If it's before the repair I will suspect the balljoints, brake rotors, tires and rims, underchassis bushings, faulty suspensions and the bracket of the rack and pinion James

I'll be standing by for your response James. Thank you

Yes.... so it's either there is something wrong in the installation or after the suspension replacement the car is lifted higher than the usual and some old pressed rubber bushings may already have a play that's why it wobbles. Unlike before the replacement of the old suspension which may sit a little low and with the pressed rubber bushings there will be zero space to play that's why it will not wobble. 

Yes it's possible that's why it vibrates. If it has coil overs sleeves like this and yes it can be adjusted but the stock shocks can't be. 

But some people modifies their stock suspension by cutting the shaft and rethreading it for it to sit low. But it might void the warranty just incase that the problem is on the shock absorber itself. Be adviced that even new products may have a factory defect

How bout the motor mounts  James? Any history of replacement?

If you can feel that it wobbles by holding the steering wheel when driving at certain speed then the replaced parts should have corrected it. But if somehow you can feel it coming from the body then it has to be the motor mounts. Sometimes it's as simple as tire pressure James but I doubt that they overlooked that. No way to adjust the height not unless it sits on coilovers 

Actually feeling that wobble on 40mph is kinda odd. Usually you can feel in on higher speeds. In 40mph range I am suspecting a little off on the alignment and balancing if all the parts are installed properly. By the way, what did the shop told you when you reported it to them?

Do you know where was the replaced rim installed in the car?

Try to put the 2 front rim and tyres to the rear and the rear to the front. See if it will make a difference James

Try swapping the front and rear tires and see if it will make a difference.

Is the shop far from your place James?

Ok now I get it James and I fully understand. Any more shop near you that may do it?

That will be great James and I strongly believe that it will be resolved by then. It really needs a physical check up to correct everything. After that you will know what the other shop done wrong. I hope you find my assistance helpful James

If there were a short cut to correct this I would tell you but it really needs a physical check up
