rear wheels wobbly? HELP!

Post Thu Nov 26, 2009 7:55 pm

i have just added some spacers to the rear wheels.

However when i drove off i could see the rear wheels wobbling a little.

Now spacers should not make a difference, however i do only have 3 bolts in, instead of 4, would this cause it?

I cant see what could have happened by just adding spacers.

Also i have checked the bolts they are tight.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have the wrong sized spacers and therefore the wheels are not being held on 'sugly'.

I would remove them pronto and go back to standard until you can find out what the problem is. It sounds asif it would be dangerous to drive the car as it is.

I would guess you do not have hubcentric spacers, so because the wheel is not fitting right upto the hub face, the centre of the hub is not aligning. So your wheels are not actually on true.

It'll probably shake like a shitting dog and eventually snap the studs and you'll lose a wheel.
