Reposting this question could this cause tire cupping due to alignment being off?

My nismo since getting it has been bumpy/road noise etc. just checked this thread and sure enough they were there. Took my car in 3 times to get checked out for the tires wearing uneven etc they never noticed em. Could this cause suspension alignment problems? I've had the car 1k miles, bought at 16k certified pre owned, noticed bumpy ride etc from the get go

wow! the previous owner never noticed in 16k miles!

not sure about doing damage but it cant be good for the suspension.

id have the POS dealershit you went to buy you new tires mounted and balanced with a free alignment.

Ya idk how he didn't notice I noticed in my first 300 miles, that's what I'm asking the dlr to do and they aren't willing to give me anything. Didn't even offer to take off the spacers, they said it doesn't effect anything. I talked to consumer affairs and the regional person said since it's not nissan's fault and the dealers it's up to them. So I'm not sure where to go from here. The fact that they sold the car twice and didn't notice either time tells alot.

Well, I just checked mine, and after 14,000 miles, they are finally removed. Mine had 6 in total. http://imgur.com/Rbeq2MU

Glad I saw this thread, mine were on, unfortunately I only petitioned for a free wash. I wonder if I could've gotten a little more out of them.

Yup, I just checked. I got them too. Going to have them removed. Pretty inept of the dealership to miss this.

Just got my used Nismo 370z 19,400 miles and I also had 2 left in each front. The last time I saw this was back in 1999 time frame. I was working on a 1996 Nissan 300ztt and found a set in the front while working at Nissan. I pulled them and put them in the front passenger floorboard. Told the service writer if the guy ask why his car doesn't ride like a covered wagon anymore, this would be why. LOL The car had 36,xxx miles on it. These shipping spacers have been used a long time starting with the 280zx's. They were rubber. I may have a set somewhere in my toolbox. Nissan still used them on the 1984-1989 300zx's (rubber) and on the 1990 to 1996 300z's(Plastic). They were twice the size. If you put 2 of the 370's together, that's the size they used in the previous years, 2 per side on the front.

This should be made known to every Nissan dealership. It's inexcusable to put 370Z's off dealer lots with these things still on the springs. Because of this forum, I told the dealerhip to remove them when I recently bought my new Nismo Z in April 2014. They said they did in fact remove them. I had Swift lowering springs installed a couple of weeks ago at a local Meineke shop close to me, and they found another shipping spring spacer way up high on each of the factory front springs!!! This leads me to believe there are alot of Nismo 370Z's out there with these things still installed. No wonder the ride is so harsh.

I just bought a a 2014 Nismo with 7000 miles and it definitely still had one spacer on each side. Took it to a local Nissan dealership and they tried to charge me to have them removed. Was ridiculous.

I had the same issue. Two spacers on the front spring towards the engine fire wall. I bought a 2013 Magma Red Nismo with 40 miles from a Nissan dealer in Boston on April 11, 2015. The dealership could not sale the car. I got 14k off the MSRP. I went home and thanks to this forum looked for spacers and found them still installed. Sent photos to the dealership to let them know this is why they had a hard time selling this car. Suggested the mechanics look closer at the post delivery check sheet.
