Hey has anyone installed this wing? I am noticing that the wing shakes a lot while driving is that normal?

Sorry I have nothing to contribute... but that wing looks insane. Do you have pictures of your car with it on?

on chassis mounted wings with tall brackets, its not uncommon to see wobble regardless of how much you crank down the bolts. installing diagonal tension cables is much more cost (and weight) effective than trying to machine thicker mounts/uprights/brackets. you can either do a single diagonal rod, or 2 cables in an X.

You should be able to source the materials at a hardware store for less than 20 dollars.

Do you have pictures of the setup?

fun fact. this setup is similar in concept to ww2 biplanes. one set of landing cables prevents the wings from sagging when parked, another set of flying cables prevents the wings from snapping upwards when generating lift in flight.

The reason I ask for pictures is that i am 80% sure he didnt bother to follow my advice
Oh I followed your advice I take the brace off for pics at shows I’m having a custom X brace fabricated for the wing ?
