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. Originally Posted by

javcrodgz We has this issue. The inner tie rods were too long to provide sufficient adjustment of the toe, resulting in toe-in. That was with the outers mounting onto the bottom of the spindle. We ended up just mounting them on the top, like stock. I guess a fix for this in our case would be to get shorter inner tie rods? Originally Posted by
wes 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... Originally Posted by

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
