super now tie rod spacers

so i got my super now tierod ends and of course the instuctions are in japanese...

do the spacers just screw in to the tie rod as much as it can go? you can see that the end that goes into the rack isnt threaded all the way. thanks

Anyway you can elaborate on "more steering angle” some of have little or no knowledge when it comes to steering/suspension stuff.

supposedly they will help you turn the wheels even more than normal hence the increased steering angle. it's supposed to help you drift a little better.

does it change the toe. I think thats what it is called. That means that not all the rubber is hitting the ground but its agnled a little. OR does it really let you tourn teh wheel more. Sorry about all the questions just trying to learn. Cant you also shim the stearing or something so you get a better turn radius?

From what I've been told (by slide), this tie rod spacer, in addition to the pillow-ball mounted tie rod ends that come with it, will give about 20% more counter when in full lock...


...layman's terms: when you drift, you get sideways more...
