Another idea is having the spacers and wheels balanced together

Got the dremel out and took down the studs a bit... only had time to do the left front. Idid a test drive and 70 percent of the shake is gone already. I will do the other wheel in the morning and that should fix things.

 so you would bolt the spacer to the wheel and then spin it on the balance machine, then remove the bolts and nut and in the same orientation mount the spacer to the wheel as you mount the spacer to the car. and still same result. |

Wanted to thank you guys for good solid advice. I shaved the front studs down a bit with my dremal and now my Z has no shake and drives perfect. Since my floor jack happened to be at the farm I was forced to use the factory jack... So, I wanted to share my experience and made a couple of mental notes while doing all this.
* Jack For being small it works pretty good, however I was using it on a concrete floor. So on the side of the road might be a different story. The jack has a small base so I will cut a 6x4 inch aluminum plate and drill 2 holes that are already in the bottom of the jack. This will give the stability needed on loose gravel etc. I will keep 2 bolts and wing nuts for easy installation of said stability plate. Then just keep plate and hardware in a small bag for storage with jack. * Pinch Weld Not hard to find where to place the jack.. But at night it could be so I recomend a lil dab of paint or I just cut a piece of yellow tape so it will be quick and easy to find in the dark with a flashlight... *Lug Wrench I noticed a couple of rough spots on the end and I sure recommend wrapping the end nicely with electrical tape... Having a flat is bad enough but scratching rims removing lug nuts will ruin your evening for sure. This advice has probably been covered but its something I kinda want to share. Thanks, Darin |
