Default Front Wheel Spacer

Alright here is my delema, I just installed chrome uppers and lowers, flush mount axle, bad as hell fork cap, and chrome wheel spacers. As you guys know one spacer is longer than the other, I noted exactly how the OEM ones came off and the Longer one goes on the left side(shifter side) and the short one goes on the right side(brake pedal side). When I have my axle torqued, as well as the cap torqued I have a gap on the right side(brake pedal side) and no gap on the left side (shifter side) is this normal?

Yes, about 1/8 to 1/4" gap. I just went thru the same thing, you actually had it on the stock axle as well but didn't notice it that much. The axle still has a shoulder and when torqued, all the spacers and bearings are loaded properly. Make sure the brake rotors line up in the calipers and your set.

My flush axle was an Adjure I believe. BAH cap, chrome spacers, and custom wheel.
