  1. Can you post a pic of the spacers and lock nuts you removed or the modified steering rack? Also a pick of your lca and tc rod, does the wheels rub frame or tc rod at full lock?

    1. Yea, sorry for the long reply not used to this blogging thing yet. I will take a pic for you and update the page. The outer tie rods hit the lower control arms before the tire makes contact with the tension rods or the sway bar. I put the lock nut back on the Inner Tie Rod because the inner tie rod likes to back off the threads on the steering rack. With 3-5 degrees more angle than what I have now I will have to move or remove the front sway bar.
