Me too. Same results as your's, but without the spacers.

That seems to me to pretty much prove their value.

[QUOTE=matthouston23,Nov 14 2007, 12:06 PM]It's worth the money to me for the spacers just to eliminate them as a possibility.

The same would have happened if you would have:
#1 - swapped the CV buckets left/right (and its free, just tools and knowledge needed)
#2 - used new buckets (thats expensive)

The spacers may seem like a cheap cure, but you are also creating a weaker mechanical axle setup.
You need longer bolts to bolt it all together = weaker.
The CV bucket isn't directly clamped on the output shaft anymore = weaker.


When are you going to do an animation of the movement with DynaGeo?
If you export the animation as an html fill I'll host it for you.

[QUOTE=matthouston23,Nov 14 2007, 12:01 PM]I'm thinking it's the rear wheel bearings, because I swear it's coming from something at the wheel.

And, yes, my wheels/tires are balanced, etc, etc, etc.

Not nice to see what I'm in for when it's my turn.

Glad to see that you finally got the bolts out. How's it going now that you're over that hurdle?

I just spent the last 2.5 hours reading through the entire thread. Very informative I might add. I'm still trying to digest some of the terms/concepts as it's not really clear for me at the moment, but the diagrams definitely helped. I didn't see a definitive answer from Billman regarding the measurement of the suspension, is that still going to happen?

Thanks

Eric

So what happened to the measurements Billman was going to make in June?

edit: what EricLee said above me

Yes but still none the less, many people that had a vibration, have bought the spacers and thus have solved it. So they are useful no matter how or how not useful you may say or think they are.

If your fine without them great, if you run them great!

Absolutely true. Spacers can fix the vibration. But swapping the CV buckets also fixes the problem and costs nothing. And unless you buy 2-piece spacers (like the J's), the amount of effort to install the spacers and swap the CV buckets are exactly the same.
