Ichaba Nightmare
 

Ok so I have installed new tires (PSS) & 15mm spacers all at the same time on my car. Before the install on the front right i notice Two of the studs are different from the rest. The shoulder is a little longer than the others. It goes on well so I resume with the install. On the road test I notice a vibration and suspect a bad balance, Therefore removed ALL the wheels again haul them back to the tire shop to have it rechecked. Vibration STILL there! I then removed the spacer kit on the front and found that the two studs with the extended area were pushing on the back of the rotor disc so that it would not set flush against the hub. I can only blame Quality control on Ichaba's part (and myself for trying it anyway) If you purchase Ichaba, CHECK THE STUD'S Alot of misery for a simple oversight

out of curiosity, where did you buy them from

Not sure how the Ichiba's get packaged, but the vendors might get the spacers and studs seperately and the vendor is responsible for putting the package together for you.

This is a Pic of the two studs with the extended shoulders and the one in the middle is the correct one.

Yea, not sure who packages the kits. I have not received a responce from the vendor or Ichaba yet

so a chinese (ichaba) copied yet another chinese brand (ichiba) while they used a japanese term for 'market'? lol like 3 fails in a row.

get the major brands if you can, Kics/Eibach/H&R

:roflpuke2:

to my knowledge ichiba packages everything together as a standalone package. take your concerns directly to them, or see if the vendor will do a replacement and have them follow up with...er...ichaba. :)
