    Default Tie rods

    Hi guys.

    Just wondering I've got long control arms with a T3 steering arm but my inner tie rods arent longer enough.
    Do they make longer inner tie rods? And if they do where can I get some.

    Cheers drew.




    burnouts are like jerking off, can be good from time to time, but there are better things to do with your penis.

    Go to your wrecker and get these tubes and tie rod ends.

    They are from ra40, xt130, ke30 and ke50.

    Like $6 each.

    I've got T3 adjustable LCAs and, T3 steering arms with the long tube that goes over the rack end.
    And my problem is that the T3 tube isan't quite long enough, sorry for the noob questions but I just wasn't sure.

    Cheers drew
