nah thats dangerous, by that you are decreasing the amount of thread holding your left wheel to the rack. Im scared enough of my tie rods snapping (hence why i have overpriced nasiga ones) let alone spacing my lock by 2mm
two lock spacers shouldnt be used as it reduces the thread being used to hold the steering ball joints in place by heaps. Now on an ae86 I have to disgree with everyone and I found that my steering rack had heaps of travel left in it for atleast 3 standard lock spacers after I installed mine. I say just get the bolt on type of lock spacers from AJPS and you will be set.

thread hijaking..
buttt has anyone had any hassles instaling there lockspacers..
it screws in and out fine... and ive tried it on 2 racks
on the my 86 rack wen its fully screwed in it seems off centre and wont slide into the seal. but out a quater turn its centred and works...
on the ke70 rack.. which has less wear then the 86.. it doesnt seem centred at all?
it just seems machined wrong.....anyone no what im talking about..?
yeah ive seen it before myself... where did u get them from?
i believe AJPS had a bad batch ages ago... but has since been solved?
If PS arms and a lock spacer isnt enough lock for you then you suck at drifting.

not entirely true mate.... what do you do once you've reached the limits of PS arms... u want more
i got it from ajps like 2 days ago..
maybe hes sent me an old one out... its just like the thread is off centre.
You hurt me. Come on you gotta get on that stupid angle of no return to scare the nissans!
haha just messing, what setup have you got now?
PS arms is a fair whack of lock, combined with a rack spacer i cant see how you couldn't enter backwards if need be!

It is possible to run 2 lock spacers in your rack. Not entirely sure if its safe or not but it seems to work fine. Run one screw on lockspacer on the passenger side, then run a slip on spacer/washer on the other side. Plenty of lock, then again ps arms would be the way to go.
