FAQs

How does this steering rack spacer work?

The steering rack spacer screws between the steering rack and your inner tie rod. It allows the steering rack to travel an extra(16mm). That extra 16mm of rack travel gives approximately 12-15 degrees more lock.

I've installed the rack spacer and I've got a heap of toe in, what happened?

After you have centred your rack (this is CRUCIAL) you will need a wheel alignment. You may also need need to either trim your inner tie rods down to counteract the length that you've just put into the length of the rack or go to an inner with more adjustment. Whether you need to trim the tie rods down depends on your setup.Do NOT trim too much off or else you'll need to get a new tie rod and only trim down once you've centered the rack. Note that the LH side has a larger spacer so it will need the most attention.
