Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - new spacers and studs; now sterring wheel vibrates

TypeOne · 07-27-2011, 04:44 PM

I had 3 different sets of spacers, all gave me vibration issues above 60mph.

I changed to my weds and it still shakes a little, even with perfectly balanced wheels and OE tires.

One thing I did notice with the spacers is that they are really sensitive to how you bolt them on, and how much your torque them to. I did my spacers in the proper cross pattern and torqued them (with the car in the air) to 110ft/lbs.

Once I did that, the vibration went away until about 80mph.

I have yet to get my car aligned though... >_<
