Component Adjustments and Installation Notes

*Do not exceed the rod ends adjustments. Each rod end should have a minimum of 1 to 1.5x the diameter of the joint. For example, a 3/4-16 rod end needs to have approximately .75-1.125 inches inside of the arm at a minimum, which corresponds to 12-18 threads.*

Knuckle Adaptor

The knuckle adaptor may require some removal of material on the knuckle. Remove material until the adaptor sits flat. Adjust the Ackerman using the 3 positions available: +2, 0, -2.

Offset Rack Spacer

If the steering rack is in the factory position, the rack spacer is designed to move the inner tierod forward 32mm. The other 2 holes are only for if the rack is relocated. Use red locktite on the rack bolt and torque to factory specifications.
