Shearing spacer & wheel studs
Discussion
Hi guys,
This has happened to me twice now. After driving on track for a while all of a sudden something it will feel odd and not under control at the rear…………the nearside rear spacer's spigot(?) shears, and a stud or two will snap off, leaving the remaining ones loose.
When I first bought the car it had wheel studs and 10mm hubcentric spacers on, they sheared so I bought some Eibach spacers & extended Drifworks bolts to replace the studs, thinking they may both be better/stronger than the originals.Nope! They both sheared off in just the same way.
I’ve been lucky not to have a massive accident. I don’t want it to happen again.
In each case the wheels had been put on by different garages, the last was motorsport alignment company.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Any help much appreciated.
