That shouldn't put extra stress on the lip.

if there is uneven pressure applyed to say 3 lugs outa 5 then yes that will put extra stress on the spacer.

I don't think so, I always tighten to 80 ft-lbs, which is what the manual states.

It's pretty common with hubcentric spacers. It is just one of those things that happens.

Just my luck, my package is stuck in Memphis because of those crazy storms they are having. Had to get them redirected to my work address since I need to be there to sign for them, and I can't work from home again tomorrow. Stupid weather!

Yeah, I had no clue what was going on until I saw the message on FedEx's website. Hopefully the storms will clear up soon and I'll get my spacers tomorrow. Not to sound selfish or anything.

damn that sucks!

kenchan · 04-20-2011, 03:36 PM

yah, hope you get your new replacements soon!

and my thoughts to those that were affected by the storm earlier this week.

If I recall correctly, Captain Obvious does independent contracting on the side. He would be the perfect guy for this job. Could probably prevent this CSI episode with a healthy dose of his common sense.

*sigh* Someone screwed up with forwarding the package to my work address, so the package didn't go out today either. I should get it tomorrow, as long as nothing else goes wrong. I just love paying like $30 extra to get 2 Day shipping and in the end, I won't get it any faster than if I had them shipped ground for free.

kenchan · 04-21-2011, 01:37 PM

sucks...

i hate when that happens... and i hate how shops REQUIRE SIGNATURE when shipped even if you ask them not to select that option.

hope you get them tomorrow.

i ship 10-20 packages a week and any of them going to a home address get REQUIRED SIGNATURE no matter what the customer asks for, lol.

i can tell, you and I would get along great!

some day when someone steals the package off your front step and you have to buy another one, you will appreciate the required signature.
