So to reduce or eliminate you just swap sides?

Yes. A imperfection has been worn into the axle cup from the knuckle over time. Axle spacers pull the knuckle off the worn spot onto a fresh spot. Making your ride smooth again. Also. Swapping the cups around (left to right) also puts the knuckle on a fresh spot.

I did this with eye half asleep. Sorry if it don't make sense. Lol

Jim, if you want them, or anyone else, im putting them up for 60, memeber discount $50. There the megan racing ones. I paid 110 for them a few months ago, and they only have 1k on them.

Yes. That is also true. I've never had an issue without spacers tho for over 5yrs even being slammed
I honestly find them a waste of money until you have swapped your cups at least once already. So 50-60k miles later when it starts vibrating again. Then get them. Unless you have the extra cash. They are a little easier than swapping the cups.


I just got some axle spacers about 3 months ago because I've swapped my cups all I can. Installed them and I still have vibration. :/ The cups are over 300$ each I believe.

Ive never had a problem with mine, and Cez. started getting the vibration aswell, then he installed the spacers, and no more vibrations. And he's slammed as well. Me, i don't like being slammed, just fast.

just The point I was trying to make is. If u can spare the 130$ ish. By all means buy them. But If you can't afford them. They aren't needed.

Also I'd like add that spacers do seem to make the rear feel a little more stable or solid.
