NEVER NEVER use spacers without longer studs

NEVER NEVER use spacers without longer studs

Postby Midias » Sat Mar 24, 2007 12:35 pm

I just finished putting the longer studs in my hub centric spacers it was a bit of a pain but with a bearing press from harbor freight no prob. Any way after a test drive I noticed something scary. Before the longer studs I was getting vibration at highway speeds about 65 and up. All my lugs were tight and torque properly. I figured I had a miss balanced tire. WRONG now with new studs no more problem I did not touch the fronts so it is obvious that the lack of threads the lug nuts were grabbing on to was not enough very scary :(. Any way this was just to let the rest of you guys know.

yeah i thought you were gonna tell all of us a horrible story of your wheels falling off and your car being a boat on the highway. glad that nothing bad didn't happen to you.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.
