Re: Steering column shakes

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

Where did you get the spacers?? on my Konigs, the hub is tapered, so they
center on the rears fine, but the front hub doesn't stick out as far i
guess, and the fronts dont center. I thought the lug nuts would center, but
I have the same wheel shake problem... 
Discount tire sent me about 4 different sets, and none of them worked. some
fit the hub, but were too big for the wheel.. Where can I get some that'll
fit?! I cant go over 62 mph right now, argh!
