I have the motorklasses half shaft spacers i believe they are the thinner 7 mm ones. I've took off my suspension about 8 months ago and left the spacers on. Now I'm getting vibration in the rear when accelerating. Do you guys think it was because I left the spacers on? Because I did some research and seems like a common problem but did the spacers increase the failure of the CV?

Thanks

 

Remove the spacers if you are back at your original ride height and see if the vibration goes away.

It's not that the CV is failing...it is just a new wear spot on the CV bearing surface and it is close to the one made when you had the spacer so the spider is jumping back and forth over the two wear spots.

 

Thanks, it was the spacers do you think the CV is compromised though? I think i've put about 10k miles total in the 8 months I had the spacers on.

 

try the ol' cv swap.

 

It's possible that the vibration won't go away by removing the spacer, because you have 3 wear spots...1 from stock ride height, 1 from lowered with spacer, 1 at stock ride height with spacer.

If the vibration doesn't go away or comes back, then do what houtonpv suggests and just swap the cv buckets from right to left.

 

thanks guy, so far everything has been smooth as silk. If it does come back ill swap it.
