steering wheel shaking after spacers...
I just put my stock rims back on and wanted to make them look flush... so i put 5x120 hub adapters on stock r/s wheels... they're 25mm spacers all around. I hand tightened every lug nut and torqued it myself properly. (At first used a gun, then thought that might be the issue but same thing happened after i hand torqued slowly.) I know these hub adapters are not hub centric... Is that what is causing the issue or is it maybe that I need an alignment or wheel rebalanced?
Steering wheel starts shaking around 45mph... if anyone can help me out here that would be greatly appreciated. |
If you've got rust or debris between the spacer and the hub, then that can cause vibrations. 99% of the time that's the case, but if the spacer isn't a quality spacer, that can cause issues as well. What kind of spacer are you using??
|
im not sure what brand spacers they are(not too savy with these things lol)... but i know there good quality stuff because my buddy ran these for a while now and they have no vibration on his cars...

It is definately because they are not hub centric! Never skimp where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. I have Eibach hubcentrics. They are sweet! But, in all seriousness...stop driving with those on your car immediately! You can have a serious malfunction that occurs at hi-speeds and next thing you know you've bought the farm...and maybe taken others with you. |
^ what he said. Get some hub centric spacers and you should be fine.

anyone have recommendations on what spacers i should get... im looking for 25mm hub adapters all around... i dont know what the offset is or what size to buy to ensure its hubcentric.
|
I put quarter inch spacers on my Dodge Ram. Big mistake. Shortly after I had noise and shaking and before I knew it I broke 4 lugs off right before getting on the highway.
|
H&R or Eibach are the only ones I would recommend.

I ended up going 25mm Eibachs in the front and 22mm Eibachs in the rear. Flushed out both front and backs to the wheel well, but still left rears just a tad wider.
