I ask because I keep having my wheels/tires balanced and each time my steering wheel is still shaking. Car has 18,xxx miles on it. Lowered on H&R springs only. Never any damage. I can't figure it out. Tonight actually, I even had the wheels balanced with the spacers connected, and it made it WORSE!!!

You've found your problem. Remove and reinstall the spacers.

I have the Ichiba version 1 on the fronts . There's two sets of holes. Only one fits. It has a hub centric ring. The thing is , there's a little bit of play in the lug area where I can actually turn the spacer a touch to the left or right. I will recheck tonight and report back

Here's another thought. I used the studs that were supplied with a previous set of front spacers. Maybe it's possible the I china ones are thicker or something .
