If you're getting vibrations, you need to swap (left and right) CV buckets because they are worn out.

wisdom- according to jdmquip in this thread https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/758...cv-joint-swap/ he highly recommends drive shaft spacers. since ppl in that thread were having the smae problem as me right now and did the cv joint swap but the shaking came back again. just wondering now about the drive shaft spacers, are these it? http://www.modacar.com/bolt-on/produ...568-23248.html

thanks

I installed mine saturday with the megan spacers..... do NOT swap CV buckets, its a big PIA and takes a long time. the megan spacers took 5 minutes to install. i have them set a 8 clicks, will probably go a lil stiffer. I am on stock rims and tires and could easily get the rim in the fender but thats too much for me. I will post pics in a few

I hear your points about not swapping buckets, but some do say that the axle spacers are only a band aid fix. But whatever works for your situation.

I am not the most intelligent person when it comes to cars, but basically from what i read on this guys thread who seems rather educated on this topic, swapping buckets and spacers lead to the same end result: a new spot for the spider, away from the old spot

i told myself not to ream on the car until i get those spacers in, but you know how that goes. i noticed that the vibrations have lessened. does anybody know if i should still put those spacers in? i really hope i didn't fock up the cv buckets.
