Question about driving feel after wheel spacers

[jaruss01]

Hey guys. I installed 1.4” spacers (high quality, hub centric bullet). Never had them before. Love the stance and vehicle feels more planted. I’ve had them retorqued recently after the break in period.

im still in the honeymoon phase meaning I have a conscious over them coming loose.

My question is - when I’m making 90 degree turns the rear end feels like it’s slightly floaty / more numb than stock. I can’t exactly put my finger on it. Maybe it’s just with the wider track there’s more load going to one wheel and less load going to the other wheel, at least compared to pre-spacers, thus making one rear wheel seem slightly floaty/numb.

is this normal? How are spacers supposed to feel? All I’m reading is that it requires more steering input (which I am noticing too as normal) but the above is a separate thing.

I have those same spacers and mine feels fine...never noticed a difference in how it drives. just gotta be more precise when lining it up at the car wash, and more careful backing out of the driveway on garbage day!
