your confusing the spacer you noted in this thread vs the spacer i developed for the axles which changes the angle of the axles so their not stretched out. would love to hear the results of this spacer though! glad to see someone else is taken a stab at this

i didnt get an alignment afterwards but it should be done since you removed the axle from the hub

I have been lowered for a few weeks now. Initially, i didn't experience any wobble/vibration. However, now I am getting some wobble only during acceleration from complete stop to 20mph. I have not inserted the plates as of yet but most likely will this weekend. Will keep everyone posted. Thanks sprtn131!!

Tried many of these already. A lot of insane wobble comes from worn out tires and poor quality tires as well, never mind suspension ball joint issues etc. Check those first before you attribute to AWD wobble caused due to axle angles.
