Default Coilover Help*

Hi, Today I re-adjusted my coilovers since the snow is gone and after I finished adjusting them(lower) I cant help but feel that the suspension is ISH wobbly. I am not sure if im just thinking to much or not but I am just curious if anyone has similiar issues. the alignment is good and I tighten the two rings and I checked the level after I drove it and its still the same, didn't get lower or higher. I can feel* the suspension wobble alittle but not sure if their is actually a problem. So it would be much appreciate if you can let me know what you think maybe the problem or it is just me.

Jack up the car and wobble the wheels, see if there is any play if you hold the wheel at 12/6 and try moving it. Or 9/3 and see if it has any loose play. Check for rips in tie rod ends and ball joints.

When you lower or raise your car your toe adjustment is thrown off. You should check your alignment first and then see if anything's loose.

You solve the issue? Was it alignment?

Yeah the car suspension was fine, I just thought to much about it. They said its just the way the suspension is, the lower you go the more you feel.
