new spacers and studs; now sterring wheel vibrates

BrandonSS · 03-20-2014, 09:50 PM

I installed them in October, so yes lol i stored the car in November and just got it out, drove two days, retorqued them, drove again, still vibrated, ordered all new tires, installed, drove, retorqued and still giving a shimmy. Today lifted the car again, dismounted, put my wife in the car to hold the brake, reinstalled and torqued them down, sat it down, and.... You guessed it... Shimmy.

One stud on the passenger gave me a little trouble last fall when installing it and it went in slightly angled but torqued the wheels down, pulled them off and it seemed to finish seating it correctly. But my worry was that maybe that one might be giving me problems somehow. I can't identify which one it is now so it looks to be good.

My second thought was, can a hub actually bend from the firm tapping when punching out the oem studs?

Aside from that the only thing left is a untrue spacer?

I have no clue how to diagnose this.
