Hey guys,

I'm lowered and was suggested to getting a steering rack spacer. It's nice and cheap, but how do you install it? Any how to's or anything? Will it help alot?

Thanks!

 

also wanna know

 

Undo bolts

Put spacer in

Put bolt back

Done


But for reals its easy if you look undernreath real simple install

 

Yes...
Remove 2 bolts
Insert the spacer between the frame and the steering rack, at the 2 bolt locations
Re install the 2 bolts

And that is it. Takes around 30 minutes from my past.

 

Does the alignment need to be done afterwards? Or don't the angle of the tie rods change much?

 

Oh yeah alignment afterwords too

 

I need an alignment anyway..

Do you add it to it then or does it replace something?

 

I need this info also I'm sitting pretty low What does this actually do ? I'm guessing it stops something from wearing.. Wish i knew more about cars

 

it raises the steering rack back up to stock height

 

Sorry, but anyone have a pic of where it goes?

It's supposed to help eliminate bump steer from being lowered..

 

 

**note** thicker rack spacers will not work with the stock transmission mounts

 

it changes the Ackerman angle...

 

I don't think the ackerman angle has changed by adding the rack spacers. To do that, you'd probably have to relocate the rack or tie rods ends.

 

QUICK QUESTION!! when i do u-turns with no throttle i dont get a cluncking noise...but as soon as i give it gas it clunks...

im lowered on progress springs

 

since i dont drive much i dropped about 25 miles ago lol cars been sitting if i order these and get them in and them get an alignment im fine right....actually nvm im driving 2 hrs this weekend i better get one!!!!!

Edit: wont place redo it if its "off" after a week

 

The spacers may not remove that -- it didn't for me. But the spacers DID remove grinding while turning at low speeds.
