Help please
Do I need to do the wheel alignment after put on the wheel spacer???
I feel a little bit shaking when I drive on the highway over 70 MPH.
The spacers are H&R.

Have your wheels balanced. And did you use a torque wrench on your wheel bolts?

spacers themselves can cause vibration. if the cause is the spacer, some people weld it to the rim.

Before I put on the spacer, there is no vibration.
I didn't put them on by myself.

It NOT the wheels.....it the spacer. You need a spacers with hub centric. A 10mm or thicker spacer will have the lip to center your wheels. 3 mm spacer will still have 2mm hub centric but a 5mm spacer pretty much have very little or no hub centric and cause the wheel not centering onto the hub that cause vibration.

What size spacers do you have on the car? Are they hubcentric?

If they're 5mm, see the thread below:

will 3mm spacers fix the vibration ?

Allignment won't fix your vibration.

I just put my summer wheels and tires back on and was considering the H&R DR series spacers for the rears. 12mm. I think I will watch how this post pans out first. Anyone else have this kind of issue with the H&R spacers? Mike
