eibach 5mm spacer installed, My tire shop is trying to determine how to balance them with the spacers on. Any suggestions on how to do this.

thanks

are the spacers hubcentric?? if they arent hubcentric, that is your problem. and i dont think balancing the wheels with the spacers will do anything.
no bent rims?.. shifted belts in tires? nothin like that?

to your earlier post new tires and they are fine and no bent or warped wheels, I had all that double checkec before I ordered the spacer. So do you think balancing the wheels with the spacers somehow attached will fix the problem?

there is no way to balance out a shimmy.
check the hub to see if the spacer is sitting flush.. no bebris or rust/corrosion, also make sure the spacer is hubcentric.

the shop that installed them, they told me the only way to sort out the problem would be to take the spacers off, and see if there is a shimmy, then it is the tires and or wheels. But they want to charge me for all this and I have a problem with that. Or should I have a problem with that?

not like you should expect them to do it for free.. Id suspect tires if the spacers are hubcentric.. you can remove the spacers yourself and see if its still there without them.. just be sure to torque the wheel bolts properly.

suggested the same course of action, I am going to seem them on Monday and have the spacers removed. I talked to Eibach on Friday and they were very nice, polite and concerned about my situation and said they will replace them free of charge and pay the postage for both the replacements and the return of the old. Much different then the response I got from MBUSA on my rust problem.
