Let me think spa.., whe..., a wheel spacers?

function12

I would agree.

Too easy.

Capt. Obvious

Look like they could be axle flange spacers?

Down South

Wouldn't wheel spacers have five holes? These have six.

+1 on the axle flange spacer. They have 6 holes and only 5 lug bolts


Dammit you beat me to it!

Ok. Wheel spacer? No.
I THINK they go on here, but I'm not sure how they are to be oriented (position in the lineup).

Capt. Obvious

They go between the axle and the output flange. If you look at the first picture, you can see the outline of the "star" shape of the flange on the spacers.

This is for if you use the cup control arms in the front to get more negative camber. The bottom of the wheel moves further away, and the CV joints can be stressed if they get too far apart.

I've only seen them used on the front of turbos, and C4Ss (perhaps C4s, too, but not many of those become track beasts).

Yodaforce

Front? Are you referring to the awd?

Van

I've seen them used in the front on AWD cars, because it's harder to get more negative camber in the front... Thus the need to shims in the lower control arm.

But, I suppose there's no reason not to use them in the rear.

Yodaforce

So by looking at the picture of my rear axles, if you notice where the gap is between the axle assembly and the mounting flange.....
Should these spacers go in there? They came with the car (have I mentioned it is quite a basket case) and all of the axle bolts are loose and it looks like they should draw up tighter to the flange when tight.

?

Capt. Obvious

You might need to test fit it both ways. What are the specifics of your car? Year, transmission, RWD/AWD, etc. I can look in the parts catalogue to see if the detail for your car calls for those. I'm assuming you need them if they came with the car and the ones shown have been used before since you can see the outline of the axle flange on them.
