My 2011 has never been in an accident. I recently upgraded to the front Brembo brake kit and had to temporarily use Eibach Pro-Spacer wheel spacers on my stock 18's until my new aftermarket wheels come in. The alignment is identical on both sides with the camber at -1 degrees. The spacers are identical in width. I noticed the right side sticks out 1/8 inch more than the left side. Both front fenders are original. I know our rear axles don't come perfectly centered with the stock panhard bar, but the front is off, too? Unless the offset for this partcular stock wheel is not identcal to the one on the left? What do you guys think?

I noticed that when I bought my 09 f150 new. I did a little research and found a lot of people had the same issue with their trucks, so I wasn't worried about it. It hasn't caused any issues and I just hit 70k ...

Thanks for sharing your experience, scott6809!!!

This doesn't make any sense. Subscribing for sure

Yeah I agree, but I compared my truck with my friends and his was the same... Both were XLT's.. Mine was front others say rear can be that way too.

Here is one of many discussions on it.

My front K member isn't centered either.

K member, body panels, mounting location of the control arms... there are a lot of a-symmetrical features of these cars.

But it's cheap, it's fast, it's fun and you can beat the **** out of it day in and day out and it begs for more. So enjoy it!

Thanks for your comments, guys...I'm disappointed that our beloved cars are not made symmetrical. Hopefully when my wheels come in (up to 90 days wait), l can take off the spacers, and it won't be as noticeable since their offset allows them to tuck under the fenders a bit.

Any chance the cheap spacers aren't the same before we blame the car? This actually doesn't matter on the road, as long as the thrust lines are parallell front to rear.

35-40K for a GT ain't cheap

5.M0NSTER

I'd never spend that much on a GT. Mine was $32k.

Hi 5LHO...the spacers are identical in thickness...They're about $160 a pair so I wouldn't call them cheap.

lmao what in the world

If anything, it's a imperfect stamped fender or maybe just slightly shifting the front cross frame then realigning the vehicle. Installing spacers is just ridiculous. Only a few bolts can be loosened and shoved over just a bit to center the cross frame. Will throw the alignment off a bit though.

K member off center isn't uncommon, and can be addressed.

Could this cause the vibration at highway speeds?

Spacers were for his stock wheels to clear the Brembos
