For the investment of five hockey pucks and six fender washers my tailgate FINALLY doesn’t rattle. A previous owner swapped wheels and tires and the backspacing was far enough from stock that the spare tire never made contact with any of the tailgate or lower body bumpers.
Now it makes contact at all five points and nothing rattles while I drive down the road. I’m planning on cutting some rubber matting to replace the fender washers I used on the upper mounts. I hate half-finished projects. Who knows how many years that spare tire spent trying to break the mount off of the tailgate.
