This is very sad guys! It seems Honda dealers are very poor at PDI. Now i am going to check mine out! I have 4500 mile so far and will not be happy to see them on there. Good info people!!

Well, you should check the rear ASAP.
So the previous owner had it the whole time, huh?

I dont see what the problem is. Think of it as a free handling mod.

Found mine on the rear after roughly 55,000 miles, 4 years after original purchase. Yeah.

Ok, so i had my first beautiful surprise of my new car, when painting the calipers, i happened to find oh, say a damn spring spacer on each wheel!!!!!! 7500 MILES LATER!!!! they were behind the spring, so i don't think they even noticed them. I wonder what the percentage is that has found these.



As Promised, here's a picture of on of them on my rear wheels
(Sorry it took so long, I accidently deleted it off my camera had to spend a day trying to recover it)

Why are they there? If they are there then it must be for a reason, right?

Found three on the driver's side front spring. I was wondering why my new 08 doesn't scrape the driveway when I back out like my old 05 did.





I hope this also explains the slight fussiness in the steering at high speeds.

Coincidentally, the dealer just sent me one of those "we invite your comments and criticism" letters, so I guess I will oblige. There is no excuse for this. They even signed off that the spacers were removed on the PDI report.
