Ichaba Nightmare

phohman · 10-19-2011, 11:25 AM

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
