[rolledup]

When i get my hands on some corona lcas ill definantly be getting my hands on this.
Heard good things about them

[AJPS]

No worries, speak to you soon

[Ella]

Since fitting this product and settin up my front end I now have so much lock my tyre touches my chasis rail :D

[AJPS]

sweet as! pics of it doing skids?

[Ella]

nah none. its got a stock engine for now.

have i done something wrong when i set the car up? it seems to have a lot more lock one way than the other... or do i just need a second one :D

maybe get it back on the alignment hoist and set it a bit further left?

My specs are -1.5 deg camber, 2.5 deg caster 2.0 mm total toe, 1.0mm each side...

im running one spacer in the passenger side, when i did the alignment i went from lock to lock as far as itd go each way then found centre and set it up from there.

also for what its worth im running corona XT130 struts (with 4pot hilux caliper/peugot disc) with KE70 spring perches ke70 tops, XT130 control arms, KE30 tie rod tubes and rod ends.

[ke_70]

you will need an alignment to get it good just make sure you tell them to centre the rack

[Ella]

i did it myself... i am a wheel aligner.

i went from lock to lock, counted the turns, found centre and then clamped the wheel and set it up from there.

the only thing i can think might have went wrong is the wheel clamp that i used was old and shit, maybe the wheel moved :S

[AJPS]

Ill look into it, never heard of it before.

You can put a 6mm slip on on the DS if you like.

Pm me if you want one'

Cheers

[Ella]

well ive found out my wheel must have moved, will reset it and then hopefully my tyre will stop binding on my drivers side chasis rail at full lock lol.

what a royal cunt. my steering wheel is a prick to remove.

[AJPS]

let us know how you go

[ae71]

oi, dont by any chance have these for s13?????

i need more lock and knuckles are bit exxy

[AJPS]

Sorry i do not

[Delazy]

8mm washers dude...or go for the offset rack spacers that nigel makes...

[MR 86]

I was wondering where the best place would be to cut both the tie rod ends by 8mm ?.

[Konakid]

Down to bunnings for an angle grinder.

[ae71]

8mm washers dude...or go for the offset rack spacers that nigel makes...

i already have slip on lock spacers.

so do you Mr david? prob not but i figure it doesnt hurt to ask.

[AJPS]

No i do not. Get knuckles

[jdm70]

i thought you are ment to use these on both sides of steering rack not just one side

[Jacobxxx]

http://ajps.com.au/instructions/extra_lock_spacers.aspreading is definitely not overrated.

[jdm70]

yer it shows one side noob could be both but whats the point in showing a picture of the same thing for both sides. No harm asking questions mate thought this sites ment for that

[Matt-AE86]

You can only install it on the passenger side. it cannot fully travel on the drivers side, due to the pinion in the rack being on that side and not being able to grab anymore teeth.

Unbolt both tie rod ends
Bolt the screw-in lock Spacer on PASSENGER side of steering rack ONLY
With tie-rods off turn lock-to-lock and count the turns
Then half that amount and turn the wheel from full lock to the half-way point
Your rack will now be centered
Now bolt your tie rod ends back on using loc-tite or similar
Get a wheel alignment

(:

[RRX-007]

these can be used with power steering? i got a rt142 corona.

[Dan_J]

it will bolt up on power steering. its only 70 bux give it a go

[DR86FT]

i noticed on the instruction pic the lock spacer was around the wrong way...

[AJPS]

yeah I will fix that

[DR86FT]

do you also put a washer in the drivers side for a little bit extra?

[AJPS]

you can, and I can supply

[Alexrex7]

Do you have to run different lcas to fit this on a AE71 rack? also will this help reduce the amount of turns in the steering wheel to achieve full lock also making steering more responsive? cheers

[AJPS]

best to run xt130 lca as then you dont need to trim your tie rods to run toe out

it wont reduce the amount of turns

quick rack and shorter knuckles do that

pm me

[Rice86]

so this will be OK with standard AE86 lower control arm and standard AE86 tie rod with AE86 power steering knuckles on a AE86 manual rack?

if yes to all, can i place an order for x1

can deposit money tomorrow (Thursday) ASAP!!

PM me answer and bank details please, lol

[AJPS]

no worries you have pm

[PRIMRK]

Apparently the AE86 power steering racks will blow seals if you install rack spacers, there are a few guys over in Ireland that found this out, but at the same time i dunno how much they spaced it out by. Has any one tried theses on a power steering rack with much success?

Also the 6mm spacer for the drivers side, has that got tabs and recesses to use the fold over retainer washer?

[AJPS]

no, most people use light loc tite

i can look into it

[claw]

cam they probably spaced the drivers side too much and ground the teeth off the column

[Alexrex7]

Do you guys sell control arms to suit the spacers for a KE70 rack? cheers
