Step by Step xD Spacer Shim Installation w/PICS
***Mods could we sticky this please***
Ok. we forgot to take pics on the first side, and it went way too easy... so we took pics on the other side. here is the spacer shim and hardware for 1 wheel. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer1.jpg Before adding 10mm Randode Spacer Shim: http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer2.jpg Break the lug nuts loose, then jack up and support vehicle with jack stands. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer4.jpg Remove the wheel to expose the brake drum. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer5.jpg Make sure the parking brake is released and pull off the drum. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer6.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer7.jpg Locate and remove the four hub bolts with a 14mm socket and ratchet. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer8.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ub/Spacer9.jpg Locate the ABS sensor wire on the back of the hub. there is a plastic cover over the plug that must be removed to access the button on the bottom to release the plug. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer10.jpg At this point the hub can be removed. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer11.jpg Pull the brake backing plate away from the axle flange and slide the spacer shim into place. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer12.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer13.jpg Line up the shim and put the backing plate back into position. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer14.jpg Put some red loc-tite on the supplied bolts and bolt the hub back on. Leave the bolts loose until all four have been started. Torque to about 40 foot pounds. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer15.jpg Plug the ABS sensor wire back onto the hub. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer16.jpg Reinstall drum. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer17.jpg Put the wheel back on, torque it down, and lower the car back to the ground. stand back and admire your new wide stance. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer19.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer20.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer21.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...b/Spacer25.jpg Spacer shims now in stock for xA, xB, xD, and Yaris...Cube coming soon. |
Awseome DIY review Tim! Most excellent way to contribute to the forum. Looked like it took about 20-30 minutes from start to finish?
|
Thanks, glad we could help...Can we get it stickied?
I would say 30 minutes or so...We did this like 3 times that day because I tried different sized spacers and were able to nail it down in less than 10 minutes start to finish for each side... |

Nice and the stance looks great.
|
Very nice Tim! Stance looks good!
|
Thanks....It looked good with the TRD's but when I switched to the DF's i had to remove them because I rubbed like crazy even after grinding the inner fender lip...I need to run a stretched set up in the rear...
|
Curious, did you sell your TRD's or do you still have them?
|
I sold them...
|
any one know were i can get rear camber shims????????
|

it does sux, I really would like to widen my wheel stance like that too, but to do that, you def can't go any lower than a TRD drop... And I don't want to have to modify my fenders... If someone made replacement flared fenders like in a body kit, that would be great, but then I'd never be able to afford it anyway, lol... |
Where do you guys get your rear spacers from.
I ordered a set from randode.com...but not sure if or when I will ever get them... Any other suppliers? |
When did you order your spacers? PM your info if you want and I will personally call Randy and make sure he gets on it...He's dealing with some personal sh^t...
