Not an issue that was one of the first things I had done when I bought the car .

OK car is new to me ....2 months , explanation for spacer theory is on the other thread. The car is standard apart from 20" Finichi Firenze wheels, I love the wheels ( came with the car ) they are straight bar a little pothole damage on the drivers side front ( wheel has been off stripped tested for weakness and it zeroes on the balancer fine ) good job as the wheels don't seem t be available any more & no there is no vibration or all of this would be mute.

Yeah... it's a long story....it all began one bright sunny day on the way to Beaullieu ......a comment was made by another member ref the size of my spacers which as it turned out are not unusual at all ( they must have looked bigger in the sun ) and the instability of spacers was mentioned, now having already had my " RUN " etc I panicked....a little knowledge etc Hence the start off this thread but without further data So now having the data and all the info and help from this excellent forum we have a theorem

Quick update..had my local independant check and all is as it should be, they think I'm suffering from front end lift at high speeds ( see thread Lift )

OK is anypne else getting lift at 130 plus ?, I ask because I took the car to a lovely disussed Aerodrome near me and was fortunate with the owners permission to really give her the beans and the steering is hellishly light once over the 120- 130 mark ?

Just caught the nearside rim guard.....grrrrrrrrrr

Feel your pain.....happened to me admittedly years ago with a straight 6 Zephyr beutiful car rolled it but it only had superficial scrapes and two front wings where she dug in, had no where to put her so watched her towed away ...4 days later she was picked clean all I git back was a carrier bag of tapes.....

The pic is in the Beaulieu thread I started and I posted the pic Glad the mrs is fine

All the spacer info is in the pic above the wheels are also run by another member on here they are 20" Finichi Firenze

OK sorry for being a noobie with this but having never had them on a car before its all new too me, should they also only fit one way as the one I took a picture of the writing is back to front ? , turned the pic before posting.

So the spacers should be secured wuth the original nuts ?

There you go guys all the info from my fitted spacers on the front of my Z, as they are 7 years old could that also be a contributing factor ? Thanks Guys

I have been reading several threads and to be honest my head hurts I think mine are 25mm ? the member with the info I cant for the life of me remember his name ( twin turbo Z ) did mention that maybe I should go smaller and having again read these threads it looks to me like Eibach are the way to go ? are they available in the UK or will I have to order online, obviously I will check my existing spacers for info as I remember at least one has visible specs.

See a little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing, during our meet today I mentioned my floaty feel on the front of my Z and it was pointed out that I have a HUGE size spacer on the front and that this is known to cause my symptoms, oddly though thinking about it I only noticed it after having the wheels balanced, Question can the spacer bolts become loose when taking the wheel off with a windy ?, should I return to said wheel emporium and insist they check ?. I need help here guys

Wondered where you gone Josh, great to meet you .

What a day...rain to start but then glorious sunshine...wonderful cars and good company, a pleasure meeting you all. Doug & Dilys

Yay...are you coming to Beaulieu ?

That explains it, shame would have been good to meet up maybe another time.

So your Z is Orange ?, have seen it parked. Which firm you work for ?, a dealer or one of the industrial places. Small world, you going to Beulie on Sunday if so will see you there.

where in West Sussex are you then ? I'm in Bracklesham Bay

Thanks for the info....

Where is the aerial amp ?

In the wifes car its fine

Didn't even know I had one...no audio book came with the car
