I posted the fix above. Cut the threaded portion of the heim joint. You will be hard pressed to find shorter inner tie rods and that is much more labor intensive than cutting the heim joints. Cutting the heim's is the same solution anyway...

Mine went into a B13 NX. Cut away 1/2" from ea heim but still not enough. I would need to cut another 1/8" to give me enough adjustment.

Do you have any specs on the rod ends? Specifically the static load capacity ratings(lbs)?

Also the tie rod cannot be threaded into the adapter enough to give a sufficient wheel alignment (has got heaps of toe in).

Any feedback from people who have fitted the kit? I haven't attempted fitment of mine yet so this information is only being relayed as my mate is in another state. I just expected more of a straight forward fitment.

I only had to cut one side but I wound up cutting both to give myself the flexibility.

you guys are the only issues i have heard of in over 50 kits sold

wes has a non standard rack
kiwi has a non us spec vehicle
jav i don't know

if the rod ends and inner tie rods are bottoming against each other, the only solution is to shorten one or the other or both.

"how well these would suit your application i cannot predict

buyers assume all resposibility for fit, function, set-up and safety of this product."
(from first post)

i do offer returns on unused/unmodified items

sorry guys, without seeing your problems first hand, that's the best i can do.

thanks

Went from this...



To this!




The only modification I had to do was I removed maybe 1" off the eye bolts, but probably should have removed material off the tie rods instead. This needed to be done to get the proper adjustment. After installing the kit, steering feedback was improved dramatically.
