Whoever recommended that is incompetent. Spacers have NOTHING to do with noise, at all.

Your problem is undertorqued axle nuts, 100%. Find the axle nut thread in UTH started by dwight, that says Billman endorsed. I have revised the procedure and it must be followed by you and every other s2k ever made.

Oh no. He recommend it because my car is lowered and says the axles could get damaged as i continue driving. I apologize for not elaborating further or for bringing it up at all. I had some work done at Evasive unrelated to this topic and a week later i hear this ticking. I just mentioned what he said bcuz i thought it might have been related. I have done an extensive search and i believe you are 100% correct Billman. I appreciate your input.

This is also incompetent. Lowered cars and non lowered cars have the same effect on the axles.

NO ONE NEEDS AXLE SPACERS EVER! They can hide an already pitted axle, but I assure you 100% they have no effect on axle life.

Haha! Poor guy can't catch a break. Anyway, that makes sense. I didn't want to purchase spacers. Thanks Billman.
