FAQ

Do I need to buy 1 of these rack spacers or 2?

You only need to buy 1 as it's not possible to run 2 unless you're running near zero ackerman (probably unlikely)

How does this steering rack spacer work?

The steering rack spacer screws between the steering rack and your passengers side tie rod. It allows the steering rack to travel an extra 13mm's while the washer which is to be installed on the drivers side allows for an additional 6mm's of travel. Giving a grand total of 19mm's of additional steering rack travel = more lock.

I've installed the rack spacer and I've got a heap of toe in, what happened?

You need to trim your passengers side tie rod down around 13mm's to counteract the extra 13mm's that you've just put into the length of the rack. Do NOT trim too much off or else you'll need to get a new tie rod.

What's the difference between this screw on steering rack spacer and the lock washers that you sell?

The steering rack spacer gives in total an additional 19mm's of travel where as the lock washers only offer 12mm's of travel (6mm's each)

4130 High Tensile Offset Steering Rack Extenders

The GKTECH high tensile 4130 zinc coated offset tie rod extenders screw on to the end of either standard or aftermarket tie rods and allow the tie rods to travel further into the steering rack which creates more steering lock with the added bonus of moving the tie rod position forward 25mm's which helps reduce steering bind. Great for drift or getting out of parking spots. The offset rack spacers are a great alternative to moving the steering rack forward and offer 17mm's extra lock without compromising on the amount of thread left in the steering rack.

FAQ

Are these sold individually or as a pair, your price is so much cheaper than the others selling these!?

These are sold as a pair. Ie. the price listed is for a pair. These are a pretty straight forward item to machine up, it's not rocket science.

How does this offet steering rack spacer work?

The offset steering rack spacers screw into your steering rack and move the tie rod end position forward 25mm's. It helps reduce steering bind (aka tie rod goes over center). It allows the steering rack to travel an extra 17mm's. An extra 17mm's of additional steering rack travel = more lock.

I've installed the rack spacer and I've got a heap of toe in, what happened?

You need to trim your passengers side tie rod down around 16mm's to counteract the extra 16mm's that you've just put into the length of the rack. Do NOT trim too much off or else you'll need to get a new tie rod.

What's the difference between this offset steering rack spacer and the non offset steering rack spacer that you sell?

The offset steering rack spacer moves the tie rod end mount forward 25mm's where as the standard non offset steering rack spacer is a direct extension and doesn't relocate the mounting points. The offset steering rack spacer is only needed with aftermarket or modified knuckles where as the non offset steering rack spacer can be used with the standard knuckles.
