NEW PRODUCT: AJPS extra lock rack ends

[AJPS]

Howdy guys

I keep getting asked about them and have been putting it off for a while.

But Im happy to say testing is done and the extra lock/machined rack ends are done.

Doesnt add length to your rack like the lock spacer.

They are only sold new and as a pair.

$180pr shipped.

16mm more rack travel over all (8mm a side)

Can still use the locking tabs

Can also do ra60 type on request.

Cheers

oh daaaamn. i woulda bought these for sure!

[AJPS]

you still can....

[trikzlane]

will be getting a pair shortly dave

[marvis]

RA6x/MA61/RT14x are the same as AE86.

[AJPS]

theyre a different part number

and length

[Hachi_Tom]

how do you get more lock without adding more moment to the rack, without modifying steering knuckles?

[AJPS]

there is un used teeth in a rack

same idea as a lock spacer

[trikzlane]

davey, just to clear it up, are these custom made rack ends or are they bought and have the ends lathed down to size

[AJPS]

lathed down

[hachi_dk]

how many mms of shaving back has each tie rod received?

[trikzlane]

says up top, 12.5mm each end

[AJPS]

its only 8mm, should of edited it earlier

my mistake

and length

Ah well, I used AE86 in my RA65.

What is the length differences?

[AJPS]

not much to be honest

[ecko]

I sent them all out before I took pics, will do more in the next couple days and post pics


keen on pictures dave

guess I could take pics of them, bit dirty tho

[AJPS]

pics now up!

[R&D Mechanical]

Any feed back on these dave?

[AJPS]

yes, good....

wanna try a pair?

[Delazy]

They work well...been a common mod for sometime...think robbo has been running jonny rochester modified ones for awhile now as has mark in his 3sgte ae86 drift bus and street cars...

[hachi_dk]

has this been tested with ae86 pw/s?

[GrumpyRacing]

Do you use these on their own or can you have the lock spacer as well for super extra lock!

[AJPS]

has this been tested with ae86 pw/s?

no, dont think they have the extra teeth like the manual racks

[AJPS]

Do you use these on their own or can you have the lock spacer as well for super extra lock!

no you cant, its one or the other

[GrumpyRacing]

Ok thanks. Will the work on an *e7* rack too?

[AJPS]

sure will mate

[nichy]

do these extend your rack end length........ need to find some longer rack ends to fit t3 arms and rods!!!!!

[AJPS]

no they dont

you should get the motorsport tie rod ends or run a lock spacer (extends your rack by 25mm) depends how much you need

pm me

[nichy]

cant run ajps tie rod ends due to the size of the hole on the steering arm..... so i need to find another way around it

[AJPS]

get some cut and shut knuckles then

those arms look horrible and thick

[nichy]

how do they look horrible ? and why does the thickness matter ? add's to the roll centre adjuster length.

yes i can see how they look poor quality compared to cut and shut one ...... WTF?

you will also find that with rt142 struts and sigma lower control arms the ball joint sits too high with normal steering arms and fauwls on the strut casing. so the thicker steering arms solv this issue as well.

also they were cheaper than sending some second hand knuckles off to get cut in half and pay 250 bucks after having to buy the knuckles them selves all ready.....

[Alexrex7]

Is they're anything else you need to do once you put these in apart from wheel alignment ? Pretty keen cheers

sorry if it came out wrong

ive used some before on a mates car (fitting etc) and I didnt like them

thickness - everything else bends but the arm

and also needed longer bolts etc

It was just a bad experience done late at night, im sure they will be fine

[AJPS]

nope, flick me a pm

[nichy]

anyways Dave. Not Taking up one of your threads.

each to their own

[marvis]

I have run these in both my celicas. SO GOOD.

[R&D Mechanical]

im keen to test these out in my car aswell as the kelway knuckles

[AJPS]

pm me or message me for details davey

[claw]

fianlly put mine in, along with a slip on, feels ace

[AJPS]

good to hear man!

[AJPS]

these are available again

[squish_m8]

How do these compare to a lock spacer travel wise?

[AJPS]

slightly less but the overall rack length is less, reducing bump steer
