SI-Z Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 hi guys ive just fitted some 5mm wheel spacers on all 4 wheels, took it out for a spin and it drives like sh1t. the steering wheel shakes like crazy on uneven roads, and when i pulled out to overtake it felt like i was gonna lose the back end :( (but it drives ok on flat roads its as though every bump is been exajorated) could it be that the car just needs re-tracking, or could i have bought sh1te spacers. as anyone had similar probs with spacers? cheers si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI-Z Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 yes the studs seem plenty long enough, did you need your car tracking after fitting the spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
