[--Redwork--]

Just start your entry like 3 meters further back and go in rear first... Your sooooo close...
Thats an epic shoot if you did pull that off..

Hey Delazy can Nigel cut and shut xt130 knuckles ???
Would rather get them cut up and keep my power steering arms as spares.
cheers

[Delazy]

yeh he should be able 2, hit him up on his blog or email him...shouldnt be a problem at all...may charge slightly more due to having to make a 2nd jig tho

What an epic pick, thats crazy lock !!!
Delazy just spoke to him he said it doesnt matter at all will fit the hey man jig and coz off the lock stop on the xt130 knuckles will have a bit more meat to weld to !!!!
Now just a case of getting them on my car and seeing wats gunna rub !!!!

Hey guys, i'm a bit lost as to what i should do / what i've currently got and how i can better it.

Current mods to the front end are 86 unmodified power steering nuckles and xt130 LCA's.
Setup is 1mm toe out each side, maxed stock castor rods and about 3deg camber a side.
14 x 8 -15 with 185/60's. At the rear the tyre comes within 5mm of rail/inner guard. on the front theres heaps of room, except under compression when it has rubbed to bare metal where that annoying cutout for the washer bottle is.
The thing restricting lock is the end of my tierod hitting the LCA. (lockstoppers have been removed).
This happens after only around 1.3/1.4 turns from centre!! on both sides!! so like 2.7 turns lock to lock!!
stock racks are 3.3ish yeh? so am i missing out on lock? even without a rackspacer / extra lock rackends etc?

Anyone else with similar setup got any ideas? what fouls first in your setup etc?

cheers, blair.

Try a lock spacer
