I recently put some 2" spacers on my front wheels on my truck ( 03 4x4 screw) and now when I drive it around 30 mph or so, it feels like the tires are woobling/vibrating. So I took it home and retightened all the lug nuts, and it still does it. Do you think I need to get my tires rebalanced????

 

did you have the truck aligned after the spacer install? if not- thats your problem, and get'r done!

 

sounds like u have not gotten your alignment definatly get one done.

 

I got an alignment before I put the spacers on so do I need to go again?

 

yep- any time you modify the front suspension it has to be re-aligned...

 

Are you talking about wheel spacers or a spacer such as a leveling kit?

 

wheel spacers

 

good call thump- 2" is a good sized spacer- you can actually over-tighten your lugnuts, so id make sure all of them were tightened to spec (loosen them all, and re-torque) and see if that helped- if it still wobbles, then try rebalancing-
nix the alignment, as this is not suspension related...

 

Thanks for the reply. Next qeustion is how tight should they be?

 

should be in the manual- but im pretty sure that they should be 150 ftlb

 

these are your problem. if they are not a perfect fit then they will throw the wheel hub out of balance. they need to fit onto the hub tightly and center on the hub flange. if they are loose then you'll never get them centered and they will make the wheel wobble.

what kind did you get?

 

not sure of the brand but they are very tight on the hub. at first i thought they were not going to work i was having trouble getting them on the hub

 

Get rid of them!

 

ooooh wheel spacers u got, i thought u were refering to a leveling kit.

 

just took them off and drove around the block. problem solved. now i need to talk to the guy that sold them to me on monday. has anyone else had a problem like this?
