    hey guys im bummed one problem after another, installed new wheel spacers thinking that it was going to fix my rub on the sway bar and sway bar end links install the wheel spacers and about 70 kilometers into it there's a grinding and popping noise coming from the passenger side front tire I'm really confused because I just replaced my wheel bearings both with the last the last ten thousand kilometers, i know running big tires will wear out the vearings alot faster, but.now im wondering with the added spacers if its too much for the tacoma to handle, thanks guys :(

    Make sure all the wheel and spacer bolts are tight, last time I heard a grinding and popping noise I had a wheel fall off because I hadn't tightened the lug nuts enough.

    That was a quick lesson learned, good thing it was a crappy car and I was going slow.
