No I don't have spacers, I mean the middle bit of the hub...
Going to try jax this weekend - the mags came from a jax up the coast.
Do you mean the spiggot rings which ensure after market wheels sit where they should be on the hub?

AJ was missing a few on the HKS, but no reported issues, simply makes it a bitch when you go to put the wheels back on...

Well I replaced the 4 centric spacers and yes it helped, but it's not completely fixed. It only happens sometimes now. Sometimes I can accelerate to 110, no shake at all. Other times I get it at 90...
I also noticed that while sitting in low revs around 60-70, (probably other speeds too), if I give the accelerator a quick pump then half a second later I will feel a quick pull on the steering wheel. (it's not torque steer).
I called mrt and they told me that my bearings were fine when they checked them, and that I should get my tires rotated and rebalanced...
So thinking about getting another balance tomorrow... ;seeing as though it wasn't balanced after putting the spacers on, I'm really hoping that this fixes it!

Might also try borrowing/getting a new set of rotors an seeing if that fixes the issue...
Mrt did say the rear rotors needed to be machined, but that wouldn't cause steering shake would it?

CBA reading the earlier posts. Did you ever check engine mounts?

No I haven't. When I wad getting that shake after the spurts of acceleration, I did think it could be the mounts. Is there an easy way to check?

Haha. What am I looking for? Splits and tears or something? I'll have a look tomorrow,
Anyone got any pics of where the engine mounts are?
