Has anyone that found the spacers bothered to go back to the dealer? That's a big miss on the PDI and could have been life threatening.

I sure hope no one has ever been killed or injured because of a stupid mistake like this.

BTW - when I had my differential blow at 10K miles, this was one of the reasons i tihnk they finally agreed it was a warranty repair. Up until that point, they disagreed, but showing pictures and having the spring spacers in hand was nice. I recommend holding onto them for anyone who found them.

Any tell tale signs that a spacer(s) might be in place still without looking (IE ride handling)?

I've got 10K miles on mine...I'll be really pissed at AHM if I find spacers in there now

snap oversteer without much throttle or steering input. otherwise known as "scary handling"
