Are you on about the driveshaft spacers that prevent lowered car driveshaft vibration?

If the vibration is coming from your diff and you haven't lowered your car, spacers are not going to fix the issue!

In case you bought the T1R ones which are split it is an easy job. If you bought the ones that come in one piece you have to take the halfshafts off meaning that you no longer need them since you can swap the cups and call it a day.

True!

Keep in mind that the vibration might came back. Looks like i have some sag on my KW springs and the annoying vibration came back...

The spacers that is.

(Has visions of Burnie 'burning' the drive shafts into two pieces)



A good few reports I have seen on S2K about substandard replacement bolts on some spacers.
Anyone know what brand?
