for those of you running wheel spacers!

[zombie66]

for those of you running wheel spacers i would definately check your bolts occasionally and put loctite on the threads. we had a great time at browns camp that couldve turned into a real nightmare. i was airing up the tires and noticed some metal shavings around my hub. come to find out the bolts had worked themselves loose on my wheel spacer about a 1/4" on the driver side front and one or two bolts on the passenger side. the freeway ride home probably would have done the rest to the bolts and ended in a not fun situation. so i figured i would give you the heads up. im going to loctite the s#!t out of them today.

Have checked mine after every trip since I put them on and no issues. I think the big issue is lack of consistent torque on all the bolts/lug nuts. So far no problems with mine, glad you found your problem before it got spooky!

hey sand horse ,, make sure you torque them to specs ,, as well as locktight ,,,,, verry important thing to do on them , as if there is even a little movement ,, they will come loose or sheer off the bolts completely ,, not good ,, not good at all ,, had a great time yesturday ,,, thanks for hanging out with me when everyone else was showing off on the hill ,,,

I've have had mine on for a year with no problems. i think i've checked them twice in that time, knock on wood.

I've had some on for several years with no problems. I don't use locktite either, I use anti-sieze on them.
