Driving with Wheel Spacers...

[xskydivingdudex]

ok so i have 1.25" wheel spacers all around and im wondering if anyone has ever driven with only 3 of them. So i installed them and realized that the passenger rear tire sticks out about 1" further then the other 3 tires do so im thinking of just taking the spacer off so that they look about equal.

I have some vibrations when i hit 40-50 and when im driving 75+ the vibrations get kinda bad that it feels like my car might fall apart though i know it will not. Well im hoping that this will help since i have noticed then when im rolling to a stop it feels as though one tire takes longer to do a full roll. this is not as important bc i plan to get my tires re-blalanced soon to see if that helps.

That's odd dude. I have 891s and my rear axle is only shifted about 1/4-3/8" over to the passenger side. An inch is a lot! Are you sure nothing is bent down there like your rear lower control arms or your stock pan hard? An adjustable pan hard bar from sonoran steel would probably be a better choice than running 3 spacers.

Lots of people will tell you driving with spacers of any kind is bad enough, but with 3 instead of 4 is crazy! You have bigger issues from the sounds of things. I think I would take all the spacers out of the equation until you can figure out what the vibration is and why one side of your axle sticks out further...with my LC coils, my axle only shifted 1/4"....there's something wrong with your rig dude!

lol ya i checked under my rig the other day and nothing looked bent but ill check again... well it might not be an 1" but it is a noticeable difference in my tire sticking out. Ill prob get that checked out to see wats going on and hopefully itll be fixed soon.

Im wondering if there is a diff in the length of my panhard bar since im only 2wd.
