If it's the axle flange, it can cause the brake caliper or pads to squeak as everything moves side to side.

That makes sense as it squeaks almost every wheel rotation...

Maertz

well it was bent axle flange...how much of a factor do the wheel spacers at 1.75 possibly have in this? should i take them off and burn them...

I attributed mine to one of 2 things.

I put it up on 2 wheels once while doing a donut

And I fell into an extreme off camber crack and was on the sides of my wheels.

Those factory pieces can only take so much especially with bigger tires.

Maertz

well i ordered up the factory tens...i hope i dont regret just waiting and saving up for a 35 spline and locker...

Id say yes it prbably does have a negative effect on your axle and hub life, but if you are happy with the stance thats something you might be willing to live with. Chromoly axles will definitely help. If I were running that shallow backspacing I would probably buy a front unit bearing and keep it with me also.

I actually didnt know they made spacers that deep what brand are they? I have 1 1/2" right now but would like 1 3/4" to maybe 2" spacers as Im still running the factory wheels.

Maertz

mine are synergy wheel spacers. I deffinaetly like the wide stance and will be keeping it, i figured it was bad, but im not sure how bad...
