    Pull the wheels off and make sure the spacers are properly seated and torqued. You did use loctite, right? RIGHT?

    Would it mess up my UCA or tire rubbing when I take them off to test it?

    It's worth a shot then. Maybe I can get them off tomorrow and give it a try.

    Hopefully one is just not tight enough.. It shouldn't be the tires even though they're not evenly worn. I know they will give it a little shake, but nothing compared to what it is.

    It won't destroy anything. I guess you'll have a little rub maybe only when turning.

    If you reinstall the spacers, they need to be carefully seated, tightening each lug a little at a time and evenly torqued with a torque wrench. And with blue loctite like Dr. Jandrews said.

    That's used to hold the nuts in place? Torque wrench won't do it?

    I use red loctite myself. But either would work. I wouldn't want spacers without some form of fastener adhesive because they're going to be very susceptible to vibration.

    My spacers were specified to be installed/torqued in a star-pattern, the same a torquing your wheel lugnuts. You do torque your wheel lugnuts, right? RIGHT?

    Yeah, we torqued the wheel lug nuts. I'll have to go back in and try taking the spacers off and seeing if there's vibration, then reinstalling the spacers in star pattern and torquing them and see if there is vibration after that.

    If that *does* fix your vibration, that may mean your spacers are loosening from the hub with usage. This is bad, for obvious reasons, right? RIGHT?

    I'm glad someone here gets it!

    BTW Andy, got one of my driveshafts back from Oliver's today...a couple kinks showed up with the other shaft, but Dave made it right. Too right. I'm gonna have to call him tomorrow and see about sending him a check.
