I installed Eibach 25mm (1") hubcentric wheel spacers on my '98GT a couple of months ago, and have been experiencing a nasty whirring/howling type noise coming from the rear passenger's side of the car only when making sharp left or right turns. This noise is only apparent after a long drive, let's say 25+ miles, and isn't noticeable at all on short commutes. The problem began about 2-3 weeks after the install of the spacers, so I don't know if they were the cause of the problem, or if they merely amplified an existing problem. We have pulled the rim 3 times to look for any visible rubbing or damage, but nothing is obvious! No signs of rubbing, loose parts, or unusual wear on the tires. The spacers were installed using liberal amounts of loc-tite, and we also re-torqued them for good measure. Help!
Here is the suspension set-up on the car:
'98 GT, 73K miles
'01 Bullitt springs
Bullitt (Tokico) shocks & struts
Eibach 25mm Pro-spacers (aluminum spacers)
17" premium package 17"x8" rims (10 spoke)
