extra lock tie rod spacer question

[haydomiata]

i have always wondered how these work because wen you put them on you get it tracked straight after so how does this make any difference???

[Johnie]

The spacer goes on the inside of the inner tie rod and increases the travel of the rack by the thickness of the spacer..

It is hard to get your head around, I use to find it hard to comprehend! But t does work! Your essentially increasing the size of the rack out put, not the tierod itself!

[Diesel-Dick]

as standard, the rack doesnt use all its teeth and therefore doesnt travel as far as it can but when u put in the spacers it uses up the last bit at each end meaning it goes out to the very last tooth and thats how u get more lock! its hard ta understand til u put them in but then ull get it!
