Zenki, did you just chop some off where your tie rod attaches or did you do more? and what did you change about your tie rods? Curious because Im looking at different ways of modifying mine

How much did you shorten your spindles? On my 240, I cut them 3/4" and that was adequate

chromolly 5/8ths with 1/2" stud. most likely need to machine the 7 degree taper down so it fits the FC spindles. Then an adjuster needs to be machined to allow 5/8" to the FC inner tie rod

as for shortening the spindle, how much is cut is dependant on your wheel, fender, camber.

more angle needs lower offset wheels and/or wider track width (extended ball joints). Need wide fenders and preferrably a ton of negative camber

^I'll assuming its just tie rod endlinks, if so yet.

Ambercombie ones are great and worth the ~6month wait. If you have some made make sure they dont **** up the ackerman

Otherwise you can get tie rod spacers that help but in reality just get knuckles made up. I had been driving for nearly 2 years without knuckles and it was seriously a waste of time. I didnt realize it until I got knuckles that the stock steering angle is so bad that you'll basically jsut spin all the time.
