ae86 offset rack spcers

[ae86-13b]

hey all dont no what section this should be but im sure you wont mind me posting it here

ok i want a pair of offset rack spacers but dont even no if they excist for sprinter or i need to go get them made.
ive desighned my own knuckles and i got decent lock using and a better feel threw the s13 front end but im going for more but i need the offset spacer to bring the rack ends more forward for no bind and then i can notch the control arm for more epic lock.
any info would be appreciated thanks guys

A rotor sprinter sounds like fun.

I don't understant what your asking though, you want to move it forward yet you can't because it will hit the sump?

[Skylar]

Don't do it. unless you wanna be replacing tie rods and racks on the reg.



push your wheels back towards the firewall if you can, same shit without moving the rack.

[Sam-Q]

wtf!? how did you bend the rack?

[ae86-13b]

ok the part I want screws onto the rack and then ur rack ends screw into the spacer the spacer offsets ur rack ends forward closer to te control arm

And I don't see how u bent ur rack man.. All the nissan boys run these spacers driftworks makes
Them but not for sprinter

I like to run big castor and I run flares and if I moves wheels
Back
It will look fail and handle
Fail

[Sam-Q]

well that makes sense. I can make them but am too busy.

A lot of people aren't running these spacers anymore and are modifying their crossmembers and moving the rack forwards because of exactly what Skylar has said and posted, namely, bending the rack shaft.

That's pic I posted is of an S13 rack and it was caused by running offset rack spacers. The guy initially tack welded the stuff on but it broke the welds and came loose and stripped the threads on the rack. He then welded them onto the rack. That pic is of broken rack number 4. That's just what happens when you run 9.5's on the front at like -10 offset. Guy eventually moved the rack forward 20mm.

Another guy bent 3 tie rods in one event, 2 ikeya and 1 tein.

Darren McNamara is making some rather soon to suit ae86...however as said, they seem to cause more dramas than they are worth...
