Hi guys,

I have a question abou driveshaft spacers.


I have a brand new set of OEM axles ready to install, my old one's are done.
My question was, is installing driveshaft spacers on brand new driveshafts recommended or not? Yes, my car is lowered and MY99.
Is using driveshaft spacers only for getting rid of vibrations when the axles are worn out??


Thanks in advance and sorry for my noob questions.

It will not hurt anything. The debate over these is if they actually are worth the money or not, but they don't cause any problems. I have heard that installing spacers has cured vibrations for some. You should just swap the inner CV joints. Good read on spacers Inner CV joint swap DIY

 

If your axles are brand new, you can:

1. New axles with the spacers for bling spec as it will be fine for a while.
2. When vibrations are back, you can remove the spacers for a quick fix.
3. When vibrations are back again, you can swap the CV cups for a quick fix.
4. When vibrations come again, start back at step 1.

Peace.

 

I am going to assume that your car does not have any vibrations due to being lowered. Since you are just changing the axles I wouldn't worry about driveshaft spacers.

If it was vibrating just switch the cv cups and save your self 100-200 dollars and buy some beers
