Message	The increased stiffness from the spacers means you'll hear things you couldn't hear before the spacers. Another problem may exist which the softer bushings were masking (bearing going out, slight d-shaft imbalance, etc. etc.). Even normal noise will be more noticable, but it shouldn't be excessive by any means. Spacers are only one option, you can also consider urethane subframe bushings. I'm happy with them. ________________________________________ NA to TT, starting from the ground up... Proper check valve inspection per the FSM...
