Default Shaking?

After having the car lowered and being told that my front o/s lower arm is on its way out i have noticed that in second and third when i take a corner and foot it after in a straight line that the car shakes a bit.

Ive checked the wheels and had them balanced they are perfect.

Could this mean that the front arm has gone completely and needs changing??

Im not sure is a lower arm could cause this.

Check tyre pressures first mate! Slight diffences make huge differences.

Cheers mark, any idea what they should be? I know again people havemixed opinions, i would say 32psi but not 100%.

Could the arm be causing this though mark as it does have life left in it but the rubber was starting to be visable but only by about 2-3mm.

Not sure Rob, im not too hot on suspension issues.

So it only does it out of a corner, or all the time?

Hope they did the nuts up!

It could be the diff, but if it has only happened since getting it slammed, then that looks fairly consistent with the problem starting.
