Axle Spacer (S14 Subframe)

Hi guys,

I'm running a S14 sub in my 180 + DW Geomaster knuckels in the rear and my CV boot is ripping apart from streching lol. Anybody know how much spacer I'll need? I thought 10mm would be alright? But they're out of stock

Unbolt the axle from your stub tube and measure, pretty simple really.

Yeah. Unbolt and measure. Do it with suspension at rest.

Alright suspension was at rest but I had to push the driveshaft away, so there is no gap really.







I thought the S14 Subframe was 10mm wider each side and I'm sure it is because I cant run big ass wheel sizes in the rear like on my old car. I also read @ Driftworks about that issue with Geomasters.

This guy mounted 15mm spacer but I think the driveshat could bend when you mount to much spacers.

btw: the driveshafts mounted are S14 though.

S13 & s14 axles are the same length even with the slight different in track width between them.

only time will tell. I will not run any spacer for now but when the joints fuck up again I'll go for 10mm at least.

I got the new shaft installed yesterday from a parted out S14. I don't have extended LCA's. S14 Subframe + S14 Shafts and Geomaster knuckels.
