Anybody have two of these? I messaged jeff on Facebook but thought I would try asking everyone. I really wish I had done a better job of holding on to everything.

I hope you’re right. Jeff just said nothing on his end so I may be out of luck.I pitched mine also... I think they are more like gaskets so the aluminum doesn't corrode to the bearing face. Being stored indoors and driven in good weather I don't think that would be a problem. Caint see how a couple of thousands would make a difference back there.
How does it work?You can buy gasket paper, and make your own.
Thank you for posting this. My 2005 SS didn't have these spacers but it makes sense now.Anybody have two of these? I messaged jeff on Facebook but thought I would try asking everyone. I really wish I had done a better job of holding on to everything.
Put some putty on the ball joint, and let the rotor push it out of the way, as the suspension moves up and down. Some people use crumpled aluminum foil instead of putty, but the same idea. Good for checking hood to engine spacing too.I was going to try without but now I am a little worried I may run into the same problem. I was going to go get some gasket paper at autozone and try and make something that will work. Is there any way to measure what the clearance is from the ball joint to the rotor? I am curious if we have the same clearance.
The ABS wire may explain the tab, but they were also installed on cars without ABS.Is this the spacer you are talking about?
It is measured as being .045" thick and it looks like the purpose is to protect the ABS wire from damage.
