Hello,

Last Fall I had Jim K's front wheel spacers installed and then I parked the GMC for the winter. On the way to the storage facility and back last weekend (about 85 miles total) I noticed a distinct vibration at 20 to 35 mph and the coaches' steering reminded me of my 1990 Escort with bad tie rods at any speed (i.e. "loose"). Am I correct that the spacers will exacerbate underlying front suspension issues and / or will the alignment be out of whack just due to the addition of the spacers?? The motorhome has 97K with (as far as I know) original front suspension parts.
Finally, the steering is noticeably worse after the spacers.

Thanks for any suggestions.
