Guys,
Just installed some burger spacers that a buddy was running on his F80 with no issues for a couple weeks. Felt fine at first, but today I am getting vibrations through the steering wheel at 50mph plus. 15mm front 12mm rear stock adaptive suspension. Use anti sieze and applied 90lbs for the extended bolts. Thoughts? Thanks |

If you applied anti sieze to the front or rear face of the spacer or Hub, could definitely keep the spacer from seating flush to the hub. I would start fresh and clean/sand paper the hub extender lip if it has any rust. Only apply anti sieze to the hub extender/spacer extender lip. Lug bolts should be torqued to 104 ft lbs on the F80. Also this goes without saying never anti sieze you lug bolts they will come loose!

Did all of the above. Still get vibrations at 50mph plus. Any other ideas? This started right after I applied them after a long vibration free highway drive. I ordered another set of MS spacers but I still can't figure this out Thanks |

Have not yet, no time. I already re applied them to see if any of the above helped. Have a hard time believing its a coincidence as I drove home 50 miles on the highway right before I put the spacers on and car was perfect. I was however coming from my first track day with the car so it is possible something happened out there. New spacers here in a few days so will just try then. |
