Hi all. I am about to go get aligned in the morning. I am going to see what the steering angle is before and after doing 1/4 inch washer mod on each side. Problem is my appointment is at 8:30 in the morning and I need to get the washers before the alignment. It would be awesome if I knew the size of the washer (or if someone has a rod endlink laying around and could tell me how wide the threads are) that would be AWESOME!

Thanks.

0.3"

 

Maximum spacer thickness is 0.30"

I need to know how big the hole in the washer needs to be. Sorry for not being more specific.

 

i wouldent worry 2 much about it, i can go pull one of my old tie rods out if u really need 2 know.

just buy some washers with the hole smaller than u think it is, and when u go for an alighnment bring a few drill bits, vise the washers and correct hole size

 

hehe if you could go snag that old tie rod that would be awesome! Would save me tons of time.

 

1.75c/3.14r2=.557"

closest 2 accurate i can be without my micrometer, a lil over half an inch and u should be good

 

AWESOME! I owe u man. Thanks a lot. Off to the washer shop I go before my alignment.

I will post my steering angle ...um .... change after the alignment. Also I will do a turning radius test. I will try to document as much as possible.

Again thanks.

 

IIRC it's supposed to be an M7 washer.

 

damn it. I didn't know the washers needed to fit over the thread but be the same size as the bar it threads into. I got them to big and the whole morning was a waste. Now I Don't have time to get the washers and get realigned.

Anybody doing the washer mod make sure you don't just get big washers.
