"These Inner Tie Rods are constructed of a durable steel alloy which is much stronger that the OEM pieces that have a tendency to bend and break."

Really?

haha yea I haven't heard of that happening to anyone

jamal · 04-17-2013, 10:39 PM

I see no way that could increase steering angle.

"With the spacer built into their knuckle, they allow the steering rack more travel to achieve the highest possible angle."

Definitely not the highest possible angle, but my buddy has them on his S chassis and they definitely increased his steering angle

Considering these cost about half what the factory parts do I'd be skeptical.

By moving the pivot outwards, they increase the rate that the knuckle turns.

However, I dont see this doing good things for bump-steer.

No I see what they're doing now- letting the rack travel farther. Doesn't change where it locates on the knuckle. But who knows what could happen if you let the rack travel farther than intended. Run out of teeth? Damage seals? freak out the electronics and VSC? That was happening with q-racks on the wrx because what was happening with the wheel speeds wasn't matching what the steering angle sensor was saying.

Anyone get these yet?

Should have been made with chromoly..

And they need to make adjustable rod ends. Seems rubbish.

These are the inner tie-rods, not the outer. The outers attach to these and the knuckles, these attach to the rack.

Anyone know how many mm the spacer is. Maybe 5mm like the 240sx slipons?

I came to this thread just because I saw the word Rack.
