fml its bad

ok here goes

so i painted and put on my wheel spacers last install day
ok fine, no problem
i went out later that night and got half way to waterford and felt something not right, i immediately pulled over and checked everything which seemed to be fine so i continued on

i get all the way to Niantic to my friends house and I was so nervous i jacked up my car and took off my tires to check them, they were fine (the spacers AND the tires)

so im driving home later that night and im like FML its getting worse, i get off the highway and check everything AGAIN, still fine

i get off my exit and decide i better stop to check them again because i could feel that something was not right.
My driver side rear spacer was visibly loose, you could see a gap between the hub and the spacer. So im like okay, im NOT driving like this but i dont have a jack thatll fit under my car. So i called chris to bring my jack.

I jack up the car and take the spacer off and the ring thingy that goes on the inside of it is all chewed up, im like WTF really? I take the other one off and its fine.

so apparently it came loose somehow and maybe thats how it got chewed up?
IDK but im 100% positive that that spacer was tight before i left my house AND when i checked it in Niantic it was tight. The whole situation just made me nervous and the fact that i had to remove my spacers on the side of the road in the freaking dark SUCKED

heres the thing tho, i know the spacer was tight and i know it was on correctly because i checked it TWICE, i felt that something wasnt right after driving for only like 10-15 minutes.....something is wrong here

also, i was on nico and a bunch of people had the SAME problem i had with the same exact spacers.
I was talking to Andy at CanAm about it and he also read about the problems ppl were having with them. He was so nervous he checked his when we got back to the motel at canam lol

ill see if i can find the thread...

iTrader: (1)

well they do come loose. depending on which ones are loose and how your car is sitting, they could appear fine. this happened to me too, didnt notice any gaps on the spacer until i drove it to the honda dealer and they guy pointed it out right away.

Nismode

Was I the only one that lolled at this? Haha

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

well if you want the aspecs you have to take the tires too, its a package deal. I should sell them and put the $ towards my winter ride.
Then ill have all summer to save for new sexy rims lol

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

Carrie if two of the tires on the ASPECs are almost new I'll buy them from you if you give me a deal. I need two new ones.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

how are the other two?


always lookin for a deal....

JMillerUA6

iTrader: (1)

Damn right.

GoldnKnight22

oh. hai. Joo wish death upon me, good sir?




......they have stayed tight for me but it's time I check again. If any aren't as tight as they originally were put on, I'm going to Loctite the studs/spacer nuts. Mil-spec loctite really shouldn't allow it to start backing out.....

CarrieLynn

Kevin
if they are loose you will feel it TRUST ME!! I was like fml i think my tire is gonna fall off.

Thats why i cant understand it when people say "oh my lug nuts werent on tight and my tire came off".
Thats BS, if something is loose you will feel it, no question. If you arent smart enough to pull over thats your own fuckin problem

GoldnKnight22

I don't remember is Steve actually "felt" his or not. I thought I remembered Justin saying that when they were removing Steve's wheels they just kinda "discovered" the loose nut.

But since Steve didn't feel safe with them, he sold them to me. lol.

I'm just giving him a hard time

TLin401

So for those of you that remember my story about my buddy whose exhaust I took of at night last week I saw him last night.

I asked him if he got it fixed and he said that the exhaust is chillen in his garage.

GoldnKnight22

your friend brings the facepalms.

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

yea i know lol
and yes i think he felt something was wrong but didnt know right away that it was his spacer.

you should be good kevin, if something is loose you will know

TLin401

I know!!!!!!!

GoldnKnight22

id also contact Tim

if you can get them for $110 and get 20% off (add shipping) then the new ones shouldnt be much more than those used ones

GoldnKnight22

I

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

no, thats not actually the reason I got rid of them, just didnt need them once I got new rims. I actually only had one incident.


I could feel it. I thought it was the rear bearing assembly since I checked the spacer and did not notice anything. you'll here a clicking or clunking as the spacer pulls away from the hub and then re-contacts. its not just going to fall off.

GoldnKnight22

Yeah I know my shits not just going to just fall off, lol. I'll notice it unless theres just 1 nut thats starting to come loose i guess.



But then I was thinking........ what if this was only the case with Nismo TLs? Because my car isn't the same as the Nismo ones.
