Help! Violent Vibration after ELM install

I installed a ELM on MOnday and had no problem till today. I got a violent vibration after 65 mph. Plus I am having some abnormal heat coming from the rear.

I have my settings at 3/5


Does anybody have any idea what the heck is going on?

There'll be someone at the Exotics Meet @Santana Row to answer your question. See you tomorrow morning.

Don't know much about the ELM's and issues, but for sure would pop under there with a flashlight a check for rubbing/contact.

Something doesn't sound right. Which ELM? I'd check back there for some rubbing, too. I don't care if you drop the car to the ground, it won't change the alignment enough to cause VIOLENT shaking. It just wears faster and doesn't handle and feel the way you may like.

Always worth checking all the wheel nuts and check that some balancing weights haven't come off.

Elm

Are Right Guys, Fix The Problem, Wasnt The Elm. I Feel Pretty Stupid But I Think Mb Is Stupidier For Not Having Warning Lights.

The Day Before, I Accedntly Tap The Ebrake. It Probably Went Down No More Than A Inch. Didn't Notice It Nor Did The Car Feel Like It Was Engaged. I Guess After 65mph The Rear Tires Were Rotating Too Fast And Started To Vibrate.

The Car Didnt Tell Me That The Ebrake Was Semi Engaged But I Sended Smelling A Horrid Brake Smell Coming From The Back Of The Rear Wheels And Figured Out To Release The Brake.

Teh Problem Went Away After I Released It


So Just A Reminder Always Check Your Ebrake Even If You Didnt Set It, Your Foot Might Tap It And It Will Be Engaged Slightly

That is odd, my ebrake lights up a warning if I put it in gear. Maybe not, i don't use the ebrake!!
