has anybody found a washer at a hardware store that works as a decent tie rod spacer?

 

No. Either buy new inner rods with them built in already, or give the dimensions to a machine shop and they'll make some for you. its a lot cheaper than you might expect...

 

anybody have the dimensions?

i looked it up and it said they can only be 1/4" thick. but is that the thickness of the loop itself or the width meaning it adds a 1/4" of travel?

 

It would be a bitch for me to take mine out and measure for you.

But the way I feel: If you can't afford a set of tie rods with built in spacer, you're not gonna afford the tires, gas, or entry fee for a drift event...

 

oh i can afford it. haha. its just that i picked up a new drift chassis last week and have a drift event tomorrow. i can't wait for shipping.

actually i'll be changing the tie rod mount on my hub. just don't have time yet.

 

Ok, cool.

 

just take a tie rod out and get a vernier(sp?) and measure the size you need..

or if your lazy like me just get supernow ones..

 

see you at evergreen? i'll be in my white s5 n/a with cf turbo hood, advans in the front verts in the rear.

no tie rod spacers or ends for me.. definately on my priority list.
