    I know its probably nothing but i was wondering if you guys can tell what has been done (like lock spacers slip on or bolt on or any other way of increasing lock) to myn just by a photo at full lock, i havent had a look under my car since ive brought it and the guy didnt say anything about increasing the lock..
    sorry for nooby post but im a nooby.
    cheers, Tom

    Tom,
    bring it around one night or to dinner next week and ill have a look.

    To check if it has lock spacers. Jack the car up and count the amount of turns lock to lock. If it has an ajps Lock spacer it will be 3.7 turns, if it is standard it will have 3.2ish? i think.

    also ill measure the steering arms when i have a look..

    Regardless make our lock spacers

    Has anyone has issues with the Tie rod end fouling on the Lower Control arm? This happens to me before my lock runs out.

    i have had that problem before, but i like it...i see it as my saving point, as the rack cant get in a direct line and lockout...

    i did have one setup with the tierod hitting the swaybar link before running out of lock...was abit dicey at full lock though, got to be a bit hard to turn back at times....

    If Any one is after the JDI knuckles send me a pm, as i can arrange it.

    He does changeover AE86/XT130 and KE70 knuckles. They have been X-Rayed by a company that does weld testing for would-be engineers, and they say they are exceptional quality and strength.

    Ive run both the corolla and xt130 ones, awesome results.
