disregard i don't read properly
Hey guys,
I am putting together the front end of my Panelvan project, and I have hit a snag.....
Everything is done, all I need are Tie Rod ends........ I need some that are quite long, I am talking like 280mm minimum.....
AE86 ones are way too short, TE72/XT130 ones (2 piece with adjuster tube etc) are still too short, even maxed out (240mm length)......
So, my question is, what model tie rod ends out there would be long enough for me? Wether I use a 1 piece or 2 piece (tube), I am not fussed, as long as it all works.... I have heard that AE82 ones are quite long, and might work.... Can anyone confirm this? I have no experience with FWD parts....
Now, the details of my setup:
CAR: AE71 Panelvan
RACK: Genuine AE86 GTV rack (quicker rack, 3 turns lock to lock, but has less overall lock)
RACK ENDS: New AE86 GTV rackends
LCAS: Cut N Shut LCAS (TA22 Celica). These LCAS are 20mm LONGER THAN XT130.....
STEERING ARMS: Non PS AE86
OTHER: AJPS 40mm RCAS, GReddy coilovers
Now, in my search, all I really found was that if I used RA60 rackends, which are longer, I may still be able to just use the standard AE86 tierod ends.
But, I already have new rackends on the rack, and really would like to use them if possible......
Thanks people.....
JoJo

Still not long enough...

I dont understand how, people are using that combination to run sigma LCA's which are 30mm longer than standard, yours should only be 20mm.
Cut and extend your tube? seems easier way, or make your own with some pipe and a thread tap

DAVE: I dont want shorter LCAS, if anything I want longer......
As I and you have said, RA60 rack ends should be the answer, just annoyed I cant use the new GTV ones I've fitted
JACOB: The differance in my combo compared to most people using these parts, is the GTV rack and ends..... GTV racks are quite differant to a standard rack. It's shorter and the GTV rack ends are shorter too......
Also, my LCA's are 30mm longer than AE86 ones
