Steering Wheel vibration with Macht Schnell spacers
Ever since I added Macht Schnell Spacers i've been noticing some vibration coming from the steering wheels past 90 mph. Can someone explain why this happens?
Is this normal? If not is there a fix to this? Thanks

Possible reasons.
Hub between spacers not cleaned Not torqued down properly Try reinstalling it again and see! This time make sure it's clean between the hub and spacers and when you torque it down have a friend or spouse help you hold the brake while the car is still in the air. |

Spacers will exacerbate any slight imbalance in the wheels. I've often had to get my wheels/tires rebalanced on a roadforce balancer to get them not to vibrate. Make sure the hub is clean and properly torqued. I usually try to tighten in the air, too.

Reason why I don't like spacers... They magnify imbalance and introduce more stress points.

Also check for any surface rust on wheel hub surface. Torque sequence is very important in installation.
