Default half shaft spacers

on a lowered vehicle do these half shaft spacers relieve some of the strain on the differential?

i only ask because i assume if the vehicle is 3 inches lower in the back that severe angle the axle is at will cause stress on the differential?

anyone have experience with this?

thanks

If anything it will strain the joints in the axle.

There's a lot of half shaft spacer threads lately. I might need to start one too lol.

OP...the added angle puts stress on the half shafts, not the diff.

As others have mentioned it will put stress on the half shafts and cause them to wear in a different area. Eventually it will cause 2 different wear spots, one from the original height and one from the lowered height and cause a vibration in the rear after a certain amount of wear.

I would suggest picking up a set of drive shaft spacers to fix this problem. If you need a quote, we have the T1R forged drive shaft spacers available for the car. Feel free to PM me with your zip or postal code and I can gladly get a quote for you.

Regards,
