Zugara Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Should take about an hour. Remember to use copper grease on the faces of the spacers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Should take about an hour. Remember to use copper grease on the faces of the spacers though. +1, else they'll seize to the hubs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Should take about an hour. Remember to use copper grease on the faces of the spacers though. Yep did that... Only thing is, slight problem. Did the rear wheels no problem at all. Front ones though, took the wheel off and there seems to be a 6th bolt protruding from the hub?? Is this normal??? With it there the spacer will not fit the hub! Pics: What do I do people?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 just remove it ......... no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Take it off. Serves no purpose other than to stop people putting the rear wheels on the front IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Ahh brilliant! Never seen that before is all, didn't know if someone in the past might have done some sort of bodge job repair on my hub or something! You can never be too careful! I will fit the front ones tomorrow then and get some pics up!! Cheers people! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrm Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 One more question. I noticed after fitting the rear ones that the angle of the wheels is more than before. Meaning the inside edge of the wheel will get more road contact... Should I take the car in for laser wheel alignment after fitting the spacers to get the camber / toe etc adjusted to correct this problem?

djrm Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looking 1000000 times better I think!!! Havn't driven the car yet though... going to after work to see if there is any real difference! Any news on my previous post about camber adjustment peeps??

The increased camber is part of the appeal when fitting spacers and/or lowering - and it does not seem to have a great effect on handling but here is at thread that might help: viewtopic.php?f=100&t=26673&hilit=camber+spacers If you do a search you will find the subject has ben aired many time before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I didn't think it would make much difference.. Still think I am going to take it in for laser alignment anyway just to be sure everything is 100% Can't beat that "Peace of mind" feeling!!!
